Kim Kardashian's engagement rings, who will get the diamonds?
The businesswoman received from Kanye West two engagement rings valued at millions of dollars. What will happen to the jewel (the other was stolen in Paris) now that they are divorced?
Now that Kim Kardashian has officially filed for divorce from Kanye West and we know some details, such as that they have reached an agreement on the custody of their four children, we cannot help but wonder what will happen to some of the assets they have shared in this weather.
We assume that the millionaire couple has a prenuptial agreement that dictates which properties each of them will keep. We do not believe that it is a question of money, since both have a healthy checking account thanks to their businesses, but that disagreements could be generated by sentimental issues.
For example, what will happen to the jewelry that the rapper has given to the businesswoman in these years? Cartier bracelets, personalized Birkin bags ... Specifically, what will happen to her engagement ring? For example, Kris Humphries, the NBA player and Kardashian's first husband, kept the engagement ring.
Recall that the socialite has received not one, but two engagement rings from the singer, although the second was stolen in Paris. Let's review what these rings look like.
In October 2013, for Kardashian's birthday, West rented the baseball stadium from the San Francisco Giants in a grandiose romantic gesture to ask the mother of his daughter North for the hand. At that moment, he presented her with a 15-carat solitaire that he had designed with Lorraine Schwartz.
It must be taken into account that the properties that determine the quality and therefore the price of a diamond are: cut, color, purity and carats. What in English is known as the four C's: cut, color, clarity and carat weight.
This first ring stands out according to experts for the purity of the main gem. A flawless diamond is exceptionally rare. It is estimated that only 0.001% of diamonds meet these characteristics. Regarding the color, it is the most transparent possible, which adds more value to the jewel. The oval-cut super diamond is set in a simple gold ring decorated with small diamonds and the name of his daughter North. Of course, Kanye spared no expense with this alliance, valued between $ 2 million and $ 4 million and worn by Kardashian at her wedding in Italy in 2014.
Still, it seems that Yeezy's creator thought nothing was enough for his beloved and in 2016 he presented her with an "upgraded" version of an engagement ring. Also in collaboration with the designer Lorraine Schwartz, they created a jewel larger than the previous one, with a 20 carat diamond.
We first saw it at Kardashian's appearance at the VMA awards. With an emerald cut and a more defined outline than the previous one, it was also a stone of great purity. Despite the larger size, its value is estimated between 1.5 and 2 million dollars.
The emerald cut is one of the most classic in jewelry and is characterized by being a rectangular stone with cut edges. Being so large, you can admire the transparency and clarity of the jewel, crystalline, and the reflection of light in the faceted cuts, as if it were a room full of mirrors.
To the couple's horror, this ring was stolen in Paris that same year, when the beauty businesswoman suffered a robbery at a hotel in which she feared for her life. Since then, Kim has not worn her most valuable jewels so happily or flaunted them on social media.
Let's not forget that Kim was previously married - and engaged - to basketball player Kris Humphries, who declared herself wearing a ring also designed by Lorraine Schwartz. A wedding band with a central diamond of approximately 16 carats, with two other trapezoid cut diamonds on the sides of approximately 3 carats each. The price of this jewel is estimated between 1.5 and 2 million dollars, although in 2013, when Humphries auctioned it for a charitable cause, it only raised $ 749,000. Kardashian's first marriage only lasted 72 days.
Whatever happens to these jewels, they are sure to go down in history as some of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings. Take advantage of it Kim!
