You’ve heard of diamonds that curse their owners — but what about owners who are cursed to lose them? After years of bad luck brought on by pricey sparklers, Kim Kardashian has emptied her jewelry box.
“If I’m wearing something, it’s borrowed [or] it’s fake,” she said on E! in 2021.
She hasn’t hocked it all: She revealed on the March 13 episode of The Kardashians that she has her first engagement ring from Kanye West and plans to give it to daughter North, 11, one day.
But many mishaps explain why she doesn’t keep the 15-carat rock in her home safe….

“Oh my God. I’m gonna have to pay for this,” she moaned on The Kardashians after a gem fell off her Lorraine Schwartz necklace while attending an Indian billionaire’s wedding last July. (It was never found!)
Kim Kardashian’s Lost Treasure
“Kim, there’s people that are dying,” sister Kourtney [Kardashian] famously deadpanned as Kim cried over losing her $75,000 diamond earring when then beau Kris Humphries tossed her into the sea during a 2010 family vacation to Bora Bora.
Kylie Jenner, then 13, came to the rescue — she dove down to recover the stud and the earring’s back!
Kim Kardashian’s Scary Heist
This one is no joke: Kim was famously tied up and robbed of at least $10 million in jewels, including her 20-carat second engagement ring from Kanye, at gunpoint in Paris in 2016.
