When you propose to one of the Kardashian sisters it goes without saying that an enormous diamond ring comes with the territory.
Between Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe, the reality TV stars have built quite a collection of engagement rings that are collectively worth thousands of dollars. But which pieces are the most valuable or more importantly, the most symbolic pieces from their husbands-to-be?
Get the full lowdown with HELLO! as we speak to Amy Hulbert from Jessica Flinn Jewellery for every detail.
Kim Kardashian's engagement ring from Kris Humphries

She estimates the ring, which was specially designed and crafted for Kim by Lorraine Schwartz, to have cost Kris approximately £1 to £1.5 million ($1.5 to $2 million).
Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring from Kanye West
Kim divorced Kris in 2013 and got engaged to rapper Kanye West, 47, later that year. Kanye was characteristically extra when it came to the proposal, renting out San Francisco's AT&T Park and popping the question in front of their friends and family.

"The solitaire design is a timeless classic that has seen a rise in popularity among celebrities in recent years," Amy says. "Its versatile style never goes out of fashion. Solitaire rings symbolise the unity of a couple, with the single stone representing the joining of two souls in marriage.
© GettyShe says the ring has an estimated worth of around £6 million ($8 million) due to the reputation and status of the jeweller, the perfect diamond clarity, and its exceptionally large carat size.
Kim Kardashian’s second engagement ring from Kanye West

"This ring features a 20-carat emerald-cut white diamond with excellent clarity, undoubtedly costing Kanye a hefty sum, Amy explains. "The emerald cut is a more contemporary choice, fitting for Kim, who is always ahead of trends."
© GettyShe adds: "Like her first engagement ring from Kanye, this one also has a micro pavé band that adds extra sparkle to the already dazzling ring."
Kourtney Kardashian’s engagement ring from Travis Barker
Kourtney, 45, is the most recent of the sisters to don a new engagement ring. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, 48, proposed to the mom-of-four in October 2021 on a beach in Montecito, pulling out a beautiful oval-cut diamond ring.

"The solitaire design continues to gain popularity among celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Zoë Kravitz, with its timeless allure and classic style making it a versatile piece. The symbolism of the solitaire adds a sentimental element to the couple's commitment as it represents the unity of a couple and the strength they share in their relationship."

Khloé Kardashian’s engagement ring from Lamar Odom
Khloe, 39, got engaged to her now ex-husband Lamar Odom, 44, in September 2009. The former professional basketball player proposed with a ring that would take many stars years to save for, and yet Lamar proposed just one month after meeting the Good American founder.
© GettyAmy says that Khloé’s ring features a square cushion-cut white diamond as the centre stone, encapsulated by a chunky white diamond halo.
© Getty"Set on a pavé band, the overall carat weight of all the diamonds is estimated to be 12 to 12.5 carats," she reveals. "The halo design gives the illusion of a larger centre stone, reflecting light from each halo diamond into the centre stone and vice versa."
© GettyThe ring, which Amy estimates to be worth between £600,000 and £750,000 ($750,000 to $850,000), is laden with symbolism as the halo symbolises eternity and an everlasting bond, while the large centre stone represents the strength of the couple.
Khloé Kardashian’s rumoured engagement rings from Tristan Thompson
© Jerritt ClarkThough Khloe has never gone official with an engagement to the father of her two children, Tristan Thompson, 33, it was once believed that the pair had got engaged. In 2018 she was seen rocking a massive pear-cut white diamond at its centre, flanked by two smaller trilliant-cut diamonds on each side. The centre stone is estimated to be approximately 13 carats, with the smaller stones about 1 carat each, giving the ring a total of 15 carats of white diamonds.
© Instagram"The ring has excellent clarity of VS2, meaning it has very few inclusions and gives a powerful, clear sparkle. The diamonds are set on a platinum band, maximising the white diamond’s shine. Due to the high clarity and size of the diamond, Khloé’s ring from Tristan is estimated to be worth £1 million to £1.5 million ($1.5 million to $2 million)," Amy says.
Kylie Jenner’s rumoured engagement rings from Travis Scott
Before their split, Kylie Jenner, 26, was rumoured to have received an engagement ring from rapper Travis Scott, 33. "The lavish gift featured two sizable diamonds set in the toi et moi ring style, meaning the ring has two centre stones instead of one," Amy explains. "This design has become increasingly popular in recent years, with celebrities like Megan Fox and Ariana Grande also choosing toi et moi rings for their engagements."
© Axelle/Bauer-GriffinShe adds: "Kylie’s ring has two white diamonds of different cuts, one pear-cut and one radiant-cut. The pear-cut diamond is estimated to be around eight to six carats, while the radiant-cut diamond is approximately 10 to 12 carats."
© InstagramIt is estimated to be worth a relatively modest £350,000 ($450,000) and the toi et moi ring translates to 'you and me'.
Kris Jenner’s engagement ring from Caitlyn Jenner
© GettyThe Kardashian matriarch, 68, has also been the recipient of a slew of gorgeous jewels. She was given a stunning ring by her ex-partner Caitlyn Jenner in the 1990s, the first of the numerous Lorraine Schwartz pieces to enter the family.
© GettyThe centre stone is a sizable radiant-cut white diamond of excellent clarity, flanked by two elongated trapezoid diamonds on each side," says Amy. "The £800,000 ($1 million) ring has an Art Deco style, with the trapezoid side stones giving it an angular and geometric shape. The trilogy symbolises a couple's past, present, and future together. Given that Kris and Caitlyn were married for 20 years, this symbolism holds true."
