On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian broke the news that she’s broken her engagement ring from Blink 182 drummer, Travis Barker.
Sharing her mishap with Mum, Kris Jenner, Kourtney explained how she stood on the diamond ring after taking it off and placing it on the floor next to her whilst she’d been sat on the floor folding sweatshirts.
When the couple’s engagement was announced in 2021, our experts took a close look at the ring – Maxwell Stone said:
“In true Kardashian style, Kourtney’s ring is a real showstopper. The huge oval diamond is a VS2 grade, which is of the highest quality. From looking at the photographs posted on Instagram it looks to be around 8 carats.
“The huge stone is set on a thin pave band for extra sparkle. The simplicity of the setting extenuates the size of the stone, making it look even larger. With this in mind, it is most likely worth around $1 million (£750,000).”
Commenting on the breakage, Zack Stone added:
“Damaging an engagement ring like this is devastating, however diamonds are tough, so it’s highly possible that Kourtney will be able to get this fixed. If it’s just the band that’s damaged, it should be a quick and easy fix, however if she’s damaged the stone it’s likely that she will have the ring remade. Remaking a ring as valuable as Kourtney’s would probably cost between $5-10k (£4-8k) and could take from 1-4 weeks, depending on the extent of the damage”
