Go big or go home!
When Kris Humphries proposed to Kim Kardashian, he offered a staggeringly huge ring fit for a queen: a platinum engagement ring by Lorraine Schwartz. The reality star debuted the rock while she and her NBA beau, 26, hit LAX on Wednesday for a flight out of the country. (Check out more pix of her ring-reveal at Bauer-Griffin's blog.) The mega-bling features a 16.5-carat emerald cut center stone, flanked by a pair of 2-carat trapezoids -- totaling 20.5 carats!

Like the 30-year-old reality star wearing it, the ring is a true original, jewelry expert Michael O'Connor tells Us Weekly. "The emerald cut center is a classic cut, but the trapezoids modernize the style," O'Connor says. "Since the center diamond is rectangular shaped, it elongates Kim’s hand, making the ring look even more elegant."

Adds O'Connor of famed jeweler Schwartz, who has been designing baubles for Kardashian for years: "Lorraine Schwartz is known for excellent quality diamonds."
One expert from the Diamond Information Center estimates the huge rock at "at least" a million dollars.

78However, does the size of the ring really matter?
pls stop hating yall just jealous! Beyonce, Mariah Carey, and all them other celebs had rings just as big but no one said crap about them. Leave her alone... She's hot and you people can't stop hating!
She's dumb for wearing it. Why not do like Beyonce. Get a high quality replica made and put the real one in a safe.
HUSBAND-TO-BE IS THE UGLIEST OF ALL HER PAST BOYFRIENDS...MUST HAVE THE BIGGEST DING-A-LING OF THEM ALL...OMG SHE HAS BEEN MEASURING THEM AFTER ALL
CAN'T SEE THE RING...NOT BIG ENOUGH
Actually it is TOO big! so much that it looks like one of those lollypops shaped as a diamond ring! seriously!!! y don´t like it.. it looks kinda trashy bling bling sorryyyyyy!
What does the size of her ring have to do with anyone but her and her man? he/she have the financial means, and that is their business! Happiness is between/intimacy is between the two individuals in love, and that is their business and only they know the reality of it. I think that she and her sisters are graceful & kick ass business women, and they know how to take care of business! Good for you!
An engagement ring for Kim Kardashian - $2 million dollars, The look on Kris Humphries mom's face when she find's out her son's marrying an overrated fame-whoring c**t - PRICELESS!!!
@Jacara: yes, Kris picked out the ring - but do you think he didn't have a pretty good idea that anything small and tasteful wouldn't be acceptable to Kim? And just FYI - if a man bought me a ring like this, I would NOT wear it. I'm not a big fan of diamonds to begin with, and for me, something this big and expensive is just trashy.
No surprise that the Queen of Tackiness gets a ring like that. And now she's saying her wedding will outdo the royal wedding because "she's part of American royalty". Pathetic.
Ugh, I really hate the word "hater" it is entirely stupid. I don't hate anyone, I hate some actions. I wouldn't dare speak for anyone on here, but I would surmise they might agree. I know for a fact that the Kardashians do support (at least on occasion) some charities, but I think what is irking people on here is the complete daftness of buying a $2million dollar ring and flaunting it around when so many people are struggling. What about the two months salary rule (for the man, not for the lady or the lady plus the man). I would like to see "Kimmy" get her hands dirty helping out people once in awhile. But that goes for lots of other celebs too.
Everyone is afforded the same opportunity she chose to do what she wants Im happy for Kimmy, the haters on going to hate regardless, no one knows what they do off line to support charities.... I LOVE THE KARDASHIANS
Seriously what is a "green eyed monster"?? People on here aren't hating..they are being REALISTIC! I used to really like Kim..however her materialism and LOOK AT ME...IM SO AWESOME attitude is old. Do something for charity...and stop being so damn selfish and self centered. It's not a positive trait to have!
Kim's had this ring since 2008 and was the same one she tried to get Reggie Bush to engage her with. Google it. So tired of her fakeness....next!
Im glad people can still find happiness, and I wish her the best, however the ring is a little excessive what is the point other than to show off? and engagement ring is a symbol of love not a symbol of look at me now

I'm okay with her having that ring & marrying him. At least when they divorce we know she can support herself. she's not completely gold digging. Plus it's not up to the rich people to take care of the poor people. She worked for her money like the rest of us. I wonder when her next sex video is coming out. LoL
Think of all the help the money spent on that ring could have assisted some of the tornado victims who now have nothing. Just my opinion.
I wish Kim all the best in life. I am happy for you. And to you all green eyed monsters and haters,repent! Kim is engaged already and there is no going back. Just wish them(Kris and Kim) well for in doing so you will have peace.To Kim,keep your marriage out of the press and camera for you marriage to last. Just a piece of advice anyway.
why is everyone complaining about how much her ring cost? Beyonce ring cost 5 million and im sure there were more people who ring cost more than that...get over it...its not your money so dont worry about how he spends his money...congrats kim and kris..
