Kim Kardashian recently revealed on The Kardashians that a warning from Kanye West helped her save one of her engagement rings from being stolen during the infamous 2016 Paris robbery.
Reflecting on the terrifying experience, Kim acknowledged that Kanye’s cautionary words prevented an even greater loss.
Kim recalled attending an event at Madison Square Garden, proudly wearing both of her engagement rings and showcasing them in an Instagram video. Kanye, however, was quick to express concern, advising her against flaunting such valuable jewelry in public.
“Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?” Kanye warned her. His words struck a chord, leading Kim to reconsider her choices.
Heeding Kanye’s advice, Kim left her original 15-carat engagement ring at home when she traveled to Paris. Unfortunately, the 20-carat ring she wore instead, along with an estimated $10 million worth of other jewelry, was stolen during the harrowing robbery. The incident left Kim shaken, altering her perspective on material possessions.
Following the traumatic event, Kim significantly changed her lifestyle, opting to avoid wearing flashy jewelry in public for several years. She focused on security and privacy, ensuring that such an incident would not happen again. However, in a recent conversation with her sister Khloé, Kim admitted that she might start wearing her diamonds again, signaling a shift in her mindset.
Beyond her personal reflections, Kim also revealed sentimental plans for her engagement ring. She expressed her intention to pass it down to her daughter, North West. “That one, I’m gonna give to Northy, because she was with me when I got engaged, and she held it after. I took a photo, and she was just a few months old,” Kim shared, emphasizing the emotional significance of the ring.
Through this experience, Kim credits Kanye for his foresight, acknowledging that his words likely spared her an even greater loss. While their relationship has seen its ups and downs, moments like these highlight the lasting impact of Kanye’s presence in Kim’s life, even after their separation.
