Kourtney Kardashian’s Oval Engagement Ring: Beyond the Price Tag

It is every woman’s earnest desire to be given an engagement ring. She will cherish and treasure it forever regardless of what it’s made of. Whether it is made of semi-precious or precious stone, minimalist, or something in the likes of Kourtney Kardashian’s oval engagement ring (refer to the chart for diamond shapes). It is the gesture and the meaning behind it that will make her gush with pleasure and excitement—not what is it made of. But it does make you wonder…

Kourtney Kardashian’s Oval Engagement Ring

Kourtney’s engagement ring is special for two reasons: First, it was given to her by the same man she married three times. Second, its worth is something only the very rich can afford.

You can get more details on these ‘reasons’ by reading through to the end of this article.

Kourtney Kardashian’s Short Bio

Kourtney Kardashian is an American media personality, socialite, model, and businesswoman. She and her family started a television reality show series Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Its success led to the creation of spin-offs revolving around the Kardashian siblings.

But what about Kourtney as a person?

Kourtney is American-bred. Born in Los Angeles, California to Kristen Mary Houghton and Robert Kardashian. She is the eldest of four children, to wit, Kim, Khloe, and Rob.

Her father, a lawyer, was of Armenian descent, while her Mom has English blood in her veins. In 1991, when she was 12, her parents divorced. This made her spend time between the two. Luckily, both live in Beverly Hills.
Kourtney attended Marymount High School, an all-girls school in Los Angeles. Then she enrolled at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. She did not stay there long. After two years, she transferred to the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. She graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre Arts, with Spanish as her minor.

Kourtney’s Professional Life

Right after graduation, Kourtney and her Mom opened up “Smooch,” a children’s clothing boutique in the Los Angeles Area and in New York. And at the age of 26, she starred in a reality television show called “Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive” (2005). The proceeds of her endeavor went to charity.
Together with the other Kardashian siblings, Khloe and Kim, Kourtney spoke for the diet loss supplement, Quick Trim. However, in 2012, the Kardashians and Quick Trim faced a class-action suit filed by some of their consumers for false and deceptive marketing.
She, together with her sisters, also represented PerfectSkin, a skin care product developed by Dr. Ron DiSalvo. Then, they released a 20-piece collection of jewelry line for the company Virgins, Saints, and Angels. The jewelry line reflects the Kardashians’ Armenian background. In 2017, Kourtney in collaboration with “PrettyLIttleThing,” launched her own solo fashion line, which was inspired by a 1970s Hollywood film.

Kourtney’s Relationships

Most celebrities have two things in common: First, fame and fortune. Second, a string of failed relationships.
Obviously, Kourtney has an abundance of the first. But how does she fare on the second? You be the judge of her love life.

Scott Disick

Kourtney’s relationship with Scott Disick was the longest of her various relationships. It lasted for nine years, and bore three children—Mason, Penelope, and Reign.
Scott was the founder of Talentless and both started dating after meeting at Joe Francis’s house.  Their nine-year relationship is documented in “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” They parted ways in 2015 but still keep in touch by co-parenting their children.

Justin Bieber

After breaking up with Scott, Kourtney lost no time in finding another one. This time it was Justin Bieber. The pair was spotted on various nights out and Justin was even seen having out with her kids.

But the rumors that Kourtney only used Justin to ease the pain of her breakup with Scott, weighed like a ton of bricks on the young singer’s shoulders. So they parted ways—Kourtney to date another man and Bieber to marry Haily Baldwin.

Younes Bendjima

Younes is a 29-year-old French-Algerian who wears many hats. He is a model, an entrepreneur, and a creative agency founder. His mantra is, “He who risks his life will save it.”

Kourtney met Younes in 2016 after Paris Fashion Week—and started dating thereafter. But barely two weeks into their relationship, they broke up. The reason? Younes started criticizing Kourtney’s sexy social media pictures.

Luka Sabbat

Sometime after breaking up with Younes Benjima, Kourtney found solace in Luka Sabbat.

Luka is a New Yorker who also spent much time in Paris, France. He is a model and cultural icon who had worked with the likes of Warren Lotas, Dolce and Gabbana, Hugo Boss, and YEEZY.

Luka has been a family friend and going out together, like flying to Chicago, did not raise eyebrows in the celebrity row. But some gossip couldn’t resist saying, “she likes young boys.”

Travis Barker

Travis Landon Barker is an American musician who gained fame as the drummer of the rock band Blink-182. Other than being the drummer, he also co-wrote many of the band’s songs.

Both Travis and Kourtney have been long-time friends. And after dating for more than a year, they decided to take it to the next level. He proposed to Kourtney in October 2021 in Montecito, California.

And what kind of engagement ring does Kourtney Kardashian have for the occasion?

More Jaw-dropping Celebrity Engagement Rings

Kourtney Kardashian’s oval-shaped engagement ring is undeniably jaw-dropping. But it doesn’t lead the pack. Here are some astounding examples of this jewelry item that never fails to get the attention of celebrity tabloids:

Poppy Delevingne

Poppy Angela Delevingne is an English model, socialite, and blogger.  Her engagement ring from James Cook (not the explorer), designed by Leo De Vroomen, is a showstopper. It is an emerald-cut blue diamond accented by two heart-shaped diamonds in a bezel setting. The ring has an extra-large band to accommodate two rows of smaller diamonds around it.

Emily Ratajkowski

Emily O’Hara Ratajkowski is an English-born American model and actress. She was born in London to American parents and grew up in Encinitas, California. She started acting as a child until she gained a recurring role in the Nickelodeon series.

Emily had a whirlwind romance with Sebastian Bear-McClard before the couple tied the knot in April 2018. Their decision to get married was rather fast—the wedding ring preceded the engagement ring. But it was not to play the second fiddle.

Her hubby picked out a stunning two-stone diamond ring on a yellow gold band. The ring features a 2-carat princess-cut diamond and a 3-carat pear-shaped diamond. It straddles the classic and modern.

Solange Knowles

Solange Piaget Knowles is an American singer, songwriter, performance artist, and actress. She was born on June 24, 1986, in Houston Texas to Mathew Knowles and Tina Knowles. Solange is also the younger sister of Beyoncé.

Even then, Solange was already expressing her interest in music. As an adolescent, she did several temporary stints as a backup dancer for Destiny’s Child.

Solange lost her engagement ring while attending a Mardi Gras party. But it was so beautiful and meaningful to be forgotten. It was an art-deco ring with one square-shaped and one emerald-cut white diamond set on a yellow gold band. Its unique shape made it a head-turner.

Emma Stone

Emily Jean Stone, or simply Emma Stone, is an American multi-awarded actress. She has received multiple awards, including the Academy Award, British Academy Film Award, and the Golden Globe. Her best-loved role is that of the musical/comedy movie, La La Land.

Her engagement ring from her beau Dave McCary departs widely compared to the engagement rings of other A-list movie stars. It is minimalist and only costs about $4,780. But her “Pearl Snowflake Ring-Supreme” created by Kataoka, a Japanese jeweler has its own splendid merits.  It is an Akoya (known for its superb luster and perfectly round shape) pearl set in 18K beige gold and flanked by a halo of diamonds.

Kim Kardashian

Kimberly Noel Kardashian is an American media personality, socialite, and businesswoman. She is the younger sister of Kourtney and the stylist of Paris Hilton. She gained fame when a sex tape with her boyfriend, Ray J hit social media. From then, she became a public personality, appearing in social events and a reality TV show.

And the number of carats of the engagement ring given to her by Kanye West made Kourtney Kardashian’s ring carats pale in comparison. It was a 20-carat emerald-cut diamond designed by Lorraine Schwartz. Unfortunately, the ring was part of the loot of the infamous Paris robbery. But Kim doesn’t seem to care. She may have lost the ring but its insurance coverage surely must have paid her for it.

Ciara

Ciara Princess Wilson is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and dancer. She hit the charts with her hit single and debut album, “Goodies,” followed up by “Ciara: The Evolution.”

Ciara married NFL star Russell Wilson who gifted her with an awesome engagement ring in 2016. It is a 16-carat flawless diamond flanked on all sides by trapezoid-shaped diamonds. Observers describe it really very stunning.

Ashlee Simpson

Ashley Simpson was born, Ashley Nicolle Ross. She is an American singer and actress, and the younger sister of singer and actress Jessica Simpson. She started her career as a backup for her sister and in television commercials at the age of 15.

Her engagement ring from Even Ross (son of Diana) is a statement in itself. Evan worked with L.A. jeweler, Neil Lane, to design a one-of-a-kind ring. The result is a five-carat ring piece, using a marquise-cut diamond and ruby ring from its vintage collection as a base. Then Neil added a diamond sleeve for added drama and sparkle. In the end, what Ashlee got is a five-carat ring, set in platinum and gold, boasting 140 white diamonds accented with small rubies.

Kourtney Kardashian’s Engagement Ring: When Love Trancends the Price

A sage once said, “It’s not about the diamond rings. It’s about the commitment to the other person that begins with the proposal.”

As true and meaningful the saying goes, some people, mostly celebrities, go a mile further by gifting their beloved with engagement rings with price tags that can often make the proposal superfluous.
