North West will get Kim Kardashian's engagement ring from Kanye West

North West!

While chatting with Khloé in India, Kim shared that she still has her first engagement ring from ex-hubby Kanye—yes, the famous 15-carat cushion-cut diamond designed by Lorraine Schwartz.

“That was the only piece of jewelry I owned that I didn’t take to Paris,” Kim said, referencing the terrifying 2016 robbery where she was held at gunpoint.

WHY NORTH?

Kim explained that North was part of the moment when Kanye popped the question:

“And so that one I’m going to give to Northie because she was with me when I got engaged. And she held it after, and I took a photo. She was just a few months old.”

TWO RINGS AND A WARNING!

Kanye originally proposed with a 15-carat diamond on Kim’s 33rd birthday in October 2013.

But later, he upgraded her to a 20-carat emerald-cut stunner—also by Lorraine Schwartz.

Unfortunately, that second, larger ring was stolen in the infamous Paris heist.

But here’s where it gets interesting—it turns out the ring had a hidden engraving that only Kim and Kanye knew about.

Kim first debuted the upgraded diamond at the 2016 VMAs, but before the robbery, she spilled the story behind it on Radio Andy.

“My husband did surprise me, it’s a really cute story, he’s going to kill me if I share it.”

Kim revealed that Kanye woke her up in the middle of the night with a gift, teasing, “I got you something from Adidas.” Half-asleep, she brushed him off, assuming it was shoes. But then, he placed a Lorraine Schwartz box on her pillow and told her to open her eyes.

Inside? The 20-carat diamond ring—engraved with the word “Adidas” as a nod to Kanye’s massive deal with the brand.

And here’s where it gets even wilder—Kanye actually warned Kim about wearing both rings in public!

“Kanye saw it and went, ‘Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?” Kim recalled.

Seems like he saw it coming… but at least North West is now set to inherit a piece of Hollywood history.

Kim Kardashian Paid for Her Own $2M Engagement Ring—Then Kris Humphries Took It Back?!

During Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians,” Kim Kardashian dropped a bombshell about her infamous engagement ring from ex-husband Kris Humphries.

“I didn’t keep that,” Kim revealed. “I was pregnant with [daughter] North [West], still married to him, and in order to divorce him, he said I had to give him the ring.

But here’s where things get even messier—Kim claims she actually paid for the ring!

Khloé quickly interjected, pointing out that Kim was the one who actually bought the ring in the first place.

“But I bought it!” Kim fired back. “He contributed a fifth [of the price].”

A Diamond Fit for a Magazine Cover

Let’s rewind to when Kim and Kris graced the cover of People Magazine. At the time, Kim gushed about her massive 20.5-carat ring, which featured:
💎 A 16.5-carat emerald-cut center diamond
💎 Two trapezoid-cut side stones totaling 4 carats
💎 Designed by Lorraine Schwartz

“[Designer Lorraine Schwartz] always listened to what I would want and the shapes I love,” Kardashian told People at the time. “I had said I loved an emerald cut.”

Don’t forget in 2011, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries got married in August, but their marriage ended just 72 days later in October.  It wasn’t until Kim filed for divorce on October 31, 2011, citing irreconcilable differences.
The divorce was finalized in April 2013.

So What Happened to the Ring?

According to The Daily Mail, Humphries ended up with the $2 million ring in the divorce, arguing that their marriage was a sham and Kim didn’t deserve to keep it. 

But here’s where things take another twist: In 2013, the ring mysteriously resurfaced at Christie’s in New York City.

The auction house listed it as the “property of a gentleman”. And while they didn’t name Humphries as the seller, the ring bore an uncanny resemblance to Kim’s.

The Final Sale

The ring finally sold for $749,000, with a portion of the proceeds reportedly going to an unnamed charity.

Kim may have lost the ring, but she’s winning in the long run. As for Kris? Well… let’s just say the resale value wasn’t exactly what he hoped for. Wonder who ended up with it?

Paired with Boucheron Pompon earrings, paved with diamonds in pink gold, Demi can do no wrong in our book!

Doja Cat jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

DOJA CAT: We can’t argue with stylist Brett Alan Nelson’s choice of jewels – edgy, sparkly gold pieces from Yeprem that were the purr-fect match for Doja Cat’s daring, unexpected, and boundary-pushing red carpet look.


mikey Madison jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

MIKEY MADISON: After all the archival Tiffany & Co. diamonds Mikey’s been rocking this awards season, her Céleste Ray of Light pendant at the VF Oscar party was a breath of fresh air. Featuring over 10 carats of pink spinels, a 4-carat red spinel, and 454 round brilliant diamonds totaling over 24 carats, it was a stunning splash of color we were so thrilled to see!


Jodie Turner Smith jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

JODIE TURNER-SMITH: Jodie Turner-Smith never disappoints on the red carpet. She dazzled in Pasquale Bruni’s Goddess Garden necklace, crafted in white gold and diamonds, crowned with a stunning emerald drop. Her look was completed with the Giardini Segreti earrings and Heart to Earth rings, set with emeralds and diamonds—pure elegance from head to toe.

Lindsay Lohan necklace at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

LINDSAY LOHAN:  Who else got to raid the Lorraine Schwartz treasure chest? Lindsay Lohan, that’s who! She rocked a two-strand necklace with almost 100 carats of Colombian emeralds and natural diamonds, making her look like the real gem on the red carpet.


Lauren Sanchez necklace at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

LAUREN SANCHEZ: If Sanchez’s necklace looks slightly familiar, picture a large emerald drop at the center, and suddenly, Salma Hayek’s version of the dynamite necklace from this year’s Golden Globes will come to mind. Hanging beneath Sanchez’s hairdo are stunning large emerald teardrop earrings, so let’s assume Lorraine Schwartz repurposed those emerald drops into the earrings.


Ana de Armas jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

ANA DE ARMAS: Ana de Armas went all in with Louis Vuitton’s Liberty necklace—diamonds, emeralds, and a 4.84-carat Colombian emerald that screams luxury. And get this: it took 1,300 hours to make. Talk about a statement piece!

Sara Sampaio jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

SARA SAMPAIO: Model Sara Sampaio shook up the classic pearl and diamond combo with a fresh, edgy spin. Her Messika Star Chaser necklace, paired with the Disco Pulsation bracelet and Fiery rings, proved that luxury can still bring the heat.


H.E.R. jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

H.E.R.:   Could there be a more fitting necklace for H.E.R.? Chopard’s Red Carpet Collection briolette-cut diamond choker wasn’t just stunning—it was symphonic. With rows of dangling briolettes mimicking the lines of a musical score (and possibly chiming with every movement), this piece hit all the right notes.


Anna Sawai necklace at 2025 vanity fair oscar party

ANNA SAWAI: One of our favorite Cartier necklaces made a stunning VF Oscar Party appearance—the Geometry & Contrast necklace in 18K white gold, chrysoprase, onyx, and diamonds. Around Anna Sawai’s neck, it has never looked better.


Sydney Sweeney jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

SYDNEY SWEENEY:  Did you catch it? Sydney Sweeney casually pinned a $50K De Beers Enchanted Lotus diamond brooch onto her custom Miu Miu at the VF Oscar party—a sneaky little sparkle move.


megan thee stallion jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

MEGAN THEE STALLION: Megan Thee Stallion hit the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet in Mateo New York green amethyst earrings set in 14K yellow gold ($4,000) and a Kallati amethyst ring with diamonds set in 14K yellow gold ($19,000). But what if she had taken it a step further—like pulled a Cardi B 2019 Met Gala move? Instead of rubies, imagine peridots. Now that would have been next-level!


Selena Gomez jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

SELENA GOMEZ: If we had to choose the ultimate Bvlgari moment from Selena’s Oscars night—the red carpet or the intricate cut-out High Jewelry diamond collar she wore to the VF Afterparty—this one wins, no contest.


Lisa jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

LISA: K-Pop star made sure her first VF Oscar Party red carpet was one to remember. Case in point: her Bvlgari High Jewelry Serpenti necklace, coiled in 144 emeralds, with double serpents clutching a 10-carat pear diamond between their fangs. She topped it off with a High Jewelry ring, proving she understood the assignment.


Sarah Paulson jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

SARAH PAULSON: The most exciting earring moment on the VF Oscar Party red carpet? Sarah Paulson’s Boucheron Iceberg pendant earrings from the Carte Blanche, Or Bleu High Jewelry collection—a dazzling mix of diamonds, rock crystal, and white gold.


Camila Cabello jewelry at 2025 Elton Johns Oscar Party

CAMILA CABELLO: While Camila was dazzling at Elton John’s Oscar party, we couldn’t leave her out of this round-up. The stunning necklace she wore is part of a collection co-created by Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts and Caroline Scheufele, co-president and artistic director at Chopard. This vibrant piece, along with matching earrings and rings, is crafted from a fragment of an enormous 6,225-carat emerald discovered in Zambia in February 2010.


THE MEN & THEIR JEWELS:


Paul Tazewell's jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party

PAUL TAZEWELL: Three! Not one, but three brooches – this needs to be a trend. The Fred Leighton 1930s diamond and emerald swirl brooch, the salamander pin, and KWIAT’s 6-carat emerald and diamond snake brooch made for an eventful and eye-catching cluster on Wicked‘s costume designer’s lapel


Kit Connor's brooch at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party

KIT CONNOR: Not gonna lie, we prefer this archival Boucheron brooch from the Private Collection, dating back to 1924, over the one Kit wore on the Oscars carpet. The Art Déco feather design, set in diamonds and platinum, exudes vintage luxury at its finest. Wouldn’t you agree?


Domiano David jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party

DAMIANO DAVID: It only made sense for Bvlgari’s newest global ambassador to slither onto the VF Oscar Party red carpet in one of their most iconic pieces—the Serpenti necklace, coiling in diamonds and emeralds—with matching earrings and a ring to complete the look.


Dwyane & Gabrielle Union jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party

DWYANE WADE & GABRIELLE UNION-WADE: Did Dwyane Bird’s On a Rock brooch with its striking 53-carat green tourmaline just outshine his wife Gabrielle’s iconic diamond Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Leaves necklace? We may be bold, but we’re not sure we’re wrong!


Noah Schnapp's brooch at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party

NOAH SCHNAPP: Stranger Things star brought vintage flair to the Oscars with a 1940 Tiffany & Co. multicolor diamond flower brooch from Joseph Saidian & Sons. Featuring fancy-colored diamonds in shades of pink, green, blue, gray, yellow, brown, and orange, this rare beauty comes with a $65,000 price tag.


Colman Domingo's jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party

COLMAN DOMINGO: Boucheron, give this man an ambassadorship ASAP. Domingo didn’t just wear the Flots Lavallière from the Carte Blanche, Or Bleu High Jewelry collection—he styled the diamond-paved white gold masterpiece as a tie. And for a touch of whimsy? Boucheron’s Wladimir the Cat earrings, shimmering with diamonds and tsavorites, perched playfully on his lobes.


brandon Sklenar brooch at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

BRANDON SKLENAR: Another floral brooch moment courtesy of It Ends With Us” star—Anabela Chan’s Blush Parrot Bloom pin. Crafted from recycled aluminum and adorned with laboratory-grown gemstones, including canary citrines, this piece brings an eco-friendly twist to luxury jewelry.


Lamorne Morris jewelry at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar

LAMORNE MORRIS: Lamorne Morris turned heads with his bold brooch game, positioning Toni + Chloe Goutal’s diamond star brooches perfectly—one on his lapel and the other closing his tux jacket. Paired with a panther ring from EFFY Jewelry and a sleek diamond flat-link chain ring from Walters Faith, his look was nothing short of styling brilliance.


Ricky Martin's necklace at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

RICKY MARTIN: Who needs a brooch? Not Ricky Martin! His Rahaminov Diamonds round-cut diamond and black rhodium necklace brought just the right amount of sparkle to his tux—effortlessly draping over his tie like the ultimate power move.
