Earlier today, Kim Kardashian arrived at court in Paris ahead of the £12 million burglary trial. Accompanied by her mother, Kris Jenner, the television personality appeared at the Palais de Justice to testify about the harrowing robbery she experienced nearly nine years ago.
In October 2016, Kim was held at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room by masked intruders posing as police officers. The group reportedly stole approximately $10 million worth of jewellery and cash, including one of her engagement rings from Kanye West.
Despite the traumatic ordeal, Kim hasn’t shied away from her love of jewellery. In fact, she made a dazzling statement on arrival – adorned in a striking diamond necklace, coordinating earrings, a diamond anklet, and a massive ring.
Although the photos are limited, leading diamond experts at UK jeweller Steven Stone have analysed her pieces and shared an estimate of their potential value.
“Given the high-profile robbery she endured, it’s understandable that many are speculating whether Kim’s latest jewellery look is the real deal. With lab-grown diamonds now virtually indistinguishable from natural ones, it’s nearly impossible to tell without specialist equipment capable of detecting minute differences in how the stones were formed.
One standout piece is her anklet, which appears to be the sentimental design gifted by her daughter North for Mother’s Day. It features the birthstones of her four children, set with round-cut diamonds and delicately accented with a single pearl, a pear-cut garnet, a pear-cut zircon, and an emerald-cut emerald. I’d estimated it to be worth around $8,000.
If genuine, her earrings could fetch up to $50,000. Though it was her necklace that truly stole the spotlight. Dazzling on arrival, it seems to showcase a series of graduated pear-cut and marquise-cut stones arranged in a symmetrical pattern, boasting an estimated value of approximately $3.5 million.
On her right hand, Kim could be seen sporting a massive ring. While the exact cut is hard to confirm, the diamond appears to be at least 20 carats – the same size as the stone in the engagement ring that was stolen – set in a solitaire design that further emphasises its remarkable size. Given these details, it’s safe to assume the ring carries a hefty price tag – my estimate would be around $3.5 million.”
