Kim Kardashian Shops for Her Own ($20 Million?) Engagement Ring

KimK_gcaballero_250Shopping for her own engagement ring? Kim Kardashian says she’s just trying to be helpful! According to the Chicago Sun Times:
"It's just easier," Kardashian says. "Isn't it easy if someone's like, 'This is exactly what I want?' It'll make [NFL-player boyfriend Reggie Bush’s] life so easy."
Isn’t she a dear? And that’s not all: She let her almost-as-famous sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, in on the engagement ring designs she likes best… in case Reggie should ask them for help when he’s ready to propose. Kourtney tells E!, “"She found one the other day and she was like, 'It's only $20 million.’” (...Thoughtful and budget-conscious at that!)



In all seriousness, there’s definitely something to be said for picking out your own ring. Did you? Vote here:

My fiance picked out the ring, made sure the return policy was good and after he proposed told me I had to pick out the one I really wanted. I told him the one I had was perfect, but he insisted I look anyway. Once I went with him to a couple different places, I found one that he and I loved even more. Turns out, it was less expensive then the first, so he was all the more happy!

I Love My Ring! It's perfect because he knows me, I do not have to tell him what I like. Maybe if Carlye was more worried about the man she was marrying and not the material, she would not have to reply with such anger. Maybe you are jealous you are stuck with a man you do not love. Or that he is too lazy to figure out what you like. That is what marriage is about, the person, not the diamond.
Anne - you've got it.
Let the spoiled buy it themselves!

I love surprises, and the sweetest thing was my fiance get to picked out the ring for me then proposed... that to show how much he cares and love me. Like it or not I kept it ( but its perfect)
If you have to pick out your own ring, may as well put out your own money and buy it. If you don't like it you can always upgrade in the future. The rock is not important, your man is.

I am in the process of picking out my setting and my rock. I won't be able to see the finished ring though until he proposes. I love that I get to pick the elements but don't get to see the package until the proposal. That's his forte.

My FH asked me to go looking with him at rings the day he proposed. He thought I would want a big solitaire diamond but didn't say anything till after I found the ring I loved. My ring is an aquaramine with 6 diamonds in the band, very unusual cut and so has lots of sparkle for no where near the price of a diamond the same size.
He was thrilled that I have one I love and of course wasn't as expensive hence more money left for our wedding rings.

My fiance proposed underwater while we were scuba diving, so he gave me a massive plastic adjustable diamond ring! Then, we picked the real one out together. I had NO IDEA he was even thinking of proposing, so it was a complete and utter surprise, and the most creative proposal I have ever heard of. :-) And to top it all off, I got to choose the perfect engagement ring later!

I was completely surprised by my engagement. The ring he picked was the one I had secretly wanted. Apparently he had really been paying attention to my taste and I couldn't be more thrilled.

I would like to comment to the one who said we were spoiled! My fiancee proposed and then told me to pick my own ring because he wanted me to have exactly what I wanted! He didn't want there to be any errors because he wanted the token of his love to be perfect. I don't see anything wrong with it. I picked two different rings that I loved and he picked which one he liked the most, that way it was a combination of both of us. I think maybe you're just jealous because your man didn't think of that or picked the something you hate and now you're stuck with it!

I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU GIRLS!!!!! A wedding was once an honorable thing. When did it become a battle of the spoiled? I wanted to get married and my fiance knew I wanted to marry him. That was it. I did not care what the ring looked like, I just wanted him. If you can not love the symbol your man picked out to show his love and commitment, then you do not deserve it!

My engagement ring is very different, but very much unique. As my fiancé and I were talking about my engagement ring somewhere along the way his grandmother approached him and told him she'd like her wedding ring handed down to her first grandson so it could be kept in the family. He could not resist. I had no clue this had happened and when he proposed I was shocked. The ring is from 1945. His grandmother gave us the option of redesigning it. The ring is gold, which I would of liked it to be white gold. We are still thinking of whether to keep it as it or change it. Its a beautiful ring. One of a kind. But I don't see anything wrong with a bride picking her own ring, she has to love it!

When I started planning the wedding there was a tool for ring shopping and I found the ring I loved. So I showed it to him to see if he like it too and he did! So I know exactly what ring I'm getting and where its coming from...lol! I don't see a problem with it, I have to wear it for the rest of my life. I should love it.

I sort of picked mine out by accident. We went to just look and stumbled on a great deal on the setting and I REALLY liked it. So then we went out and picked up a diamond. However he kept the surprise in there (as much as he could anyway). He actually proposed before we had the ring. We've decided to surprise each other with our wedding bands the day of our wedding.

I was completely surprised. My fiance' new that I liked princess cut or ascher cut and wanted white gold or platinum, the rest was up to him. I had no clue the proposal was even coming and not having picked the ring made it even more special. In my opinion, your man should know your tastes well enough by the time he's going to propose to have an idea of what you want.

My fiance proposed with a simple ring he knew I'd like, and then let me pick out the official engagement ring. So there was still the element of surprise and I was able to pick out the ring I wanted. Our tastes are so different that it worked out best this way.

I picked out my own ring but I didn't loose out on the element of suprise either because my FH proposed first and then told me he wanted me to have my dream ring of course within a budget, So I was totally suprised with the proposal and got to pick out the exact ring I had always invisioned it was perfect!! plus my FH and I have completely different taste when it comes to rings he is great at picking out light feminine jewelry but for my engagement ring and wedding band I wanted a little more sparkle!!

I think that in some ways this is a good idea and sometimes not really as you loose that element of surprise. For me I have given enough ideas for him to choose the right one for me. :)

Many of my clients are women designing their own engagement rings and love being able to have a custom ring and not having to spend a fortune on it.

Kudos to Kim for this and she should call me!
