Bring the Bling
Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring from her NBA player fiancé Kris Humphries weighs in at an outrageous 20.5 carats. And it puts her in some big bling company with the likes of Beyonce, Mariah, and Posh.
The over-the-top ring, designed by Lorraine Schwartz, features a 16.5-carat emerald cut center stone flanked by a pair of 2-carat trapezoids, for a total weight of 20.5 carats.
Khloe, whose own 9-carat engagement ring from husband Lamar Odom was trumped by her sis’s new diamond, said in a recent interview that Kim and Kris’ wedding will be one extravagant affair.
