Kim Kardashian speaks about divorce

During the March 13 episode of season 6 of The Kardashians, Kim shared that she was legally required to give back the 18-carat emerald-cut diamond ring following their split.

“In order to divorce him, he said I had to give him the ring.”

Kim, now 44, also said that while she covered most of the costs, Kris contributed only a fraction - said to be about one-fifth of the total price.

Despite designer Lorraine Schwartz assuring her that returning the ring was the right decision, Kim admitted she still felt a bit of frustration over the situation, joking:

“I would’ve loved a collection.”

As for the fate of the ring, Kris later auctioned it off for $749,000 after their divorce was finalised in 2013.

His representative confirmed at the time that the ring legally belonged to Kris and that he was 'very pleased with the final result' of the sale.

Her first engagement ring - a 14-carat cushion-cut diamond - originally belonged to her mother, Kris Jenner, and was given to her by her first husband, Damon Thomas.

In her divorce settlement with Kanye West in 2022, Kim was able to keep a special 15-carat ring from their relationship.

"My first one that I got engaged with Kanye was a cushion-cut," she shared, recalling its significance.

Unlike other prized possessions, this ring was not among the items stolen during the traumatic 2016 Paris hotel robbery. However, her second engagement ring from Kanye - a 20-carat emerald-cut diamond—was taken during the heist.

Despite its value, Kim Kardashian expressed that the most meaningful piece was the original ring Kanye used to propose.

"That one I'm gonna give to Northie because she was with me when I got engaged," she stated, emphasising its sentimental importance.
