Every girl has been conditioned by De Beers to dream that one day her lover will get down on one knee and give her an engagement ring with a diamond so big it's visible from space.

The engagement ring Australian billionaire James Packer gave the diva is generally regarded as the most expensive item of its kind. Experts estimate the value of the 35-carat diamond at ten million dollars.

He proposed to Kim with an eight-million-dollar 15-carat engagement ring. Unfortunately, Kim had the item taken away from her during a highly publicised Paris hotel robbery.
