Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' whirlwind romance, which began when Kardashian was just 19 and Humphries was 28, has resurfaced in public discourse. The couple's marriage, lasting a mere 72 days, captured headlines, but it is the saga of the 20.5-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring that remains a point of intrigue. Valued at $2 million, the ring was the centerpiece of their short-lived union. Kardashian reportedly bought the ring from renowned jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz, despite Humphries being the one to propose with it.
Their engagement came after a brief six-month courtship in 2011. However, nearly four years after their marriage, Humphries filed for divorce, demanding the return of the extravagant ring. Kardashian has clarified that she did not keep the ring post-divorce. Humphries eventually auctioned it off in 2013, fetching $749,000, with plans to donate the proceeds to charity.
Kardashian's approach to displaying her wealth has evolved, particularly after a traumatic robbery in Paris in 2016. She has since refrained from showcasing her diamonds publicly. Reflecting on her past engagement rings, Kardashian muses about what her next ring shape might be.
