Kim Kardashian recently revealed that she plans to pass down the 15-carat engagement ring Kanye West gave her to their daughter, North. This iconic piece of jewelry, a symbol of their marriage, will hold sentimental value for North as she grows older.

Interestingly, this ring was the only piece of jewelry that Kardashian didn’t take with her to Paris in 2016, during the traumatic robbery that left her without over $10 million worth of jewels. The heist, which sent shockwaves through the celebrity world, led Kardashian to change her relationship with jewelry forever.

In the aftermath of the robbery, Kanye West expressed concerns about Kardashian’s safety, warning her not to wear both of her engagement rings at the same time, fearing it would make her a target for further theft. This cautionary advice from her ex-husband played a pivotal role in shaping Kardashian’s more cautious approach to her luxury items.

Today, Kardashian prefers to borrow jewelry instead of owning it, a decision influenced by the traumatic experience in Paris. The shift in her mindset reflects her desire for safety and to move forward in a way that feels more comfortable for her.

Interestingly, North also shares a connection with her father through fashion. She occasionally wears significant pieces from Kanye’s wardrobe, including the notable Pastelle varsity jacket he wore to the 2008 American Music Awards, keeping his legacy alive in her own way.

Kardashian’s decision to pass on the ring and North’s continued connection to her father through fashion shows a deep family bond, even as they navigate a changed world post-robbery.
