Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were married when she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in 2016. And though the robbers made away with several expensive jewelry, an initial warning from her then-husband caused her to leave a valuable gem before making that trip.
Per PEOPLE, Kardashian opened up about that warning during the March 13 episode of The Kardashians. The 44-year-old stated that the warning from Kanye came after she wore her two expensive engagement rings to an event. She also took to social media to also share the rings.
“My first one that I got engaged to Kanye [with] was a cushion cut and that was the only piece of jewelry I owned that I didn’t take to Paris,” the billionaire socialite and businesswoman stated.

Kardashian in the recent episode stated that she attended a Madison Square Garden event where she wore the two rings, adding that she showed them in an Instagram post.
“Kanye saw it and he goes, ‘Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?’” she said.
Kardashian revealed that she ultimately “left my original ring that I got proposed to, which was like the most important” back home before making the trip to Paris.
The estimated value of the 20-carat ring was $4 million, and it was among multiple jewels that were stolen from her during the robbery in Paris. The incident happened in her hotel room, and the robbers made away with jewels estimated at $10 million, PEOPLE reported.
And though Kardashian avoided wearing conspicuous jewelry after the heist, she touched on the possibility of doing that again during her conversation with her sister Khloé. She also said she intends to pass on her engagement ring to her daughter North.
“That one, I’m gonna give to Northy, because she was with me when I got engaged and she held it after and I took a photo and she was just, like, a few months old,” the 44-year-old said.
Kardashian and Kanye tied the knot in 2014 before divorcing in 2021. They share four children: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5.
