Her “second” engagement ring may have been taken.

Kim Kardashian West was robbed of $10 million in jewelry in a Paris hotel room — and a piece of her bridal jewelry is believed to be among the stolen items.

The assailants, who dressed as police, tied up Kardashian West in a Paris apartment where she was staying and took the ring along with items from a jewelry box and two iPhones, Us Weekly reports.

A representative for the reality TV star said she was “badly shaken but physically unharmed.”

There’s been much speculation as to exactly what jewelry was taken. While some of the pieces may have been on loan for Paris Fashion Week, authorities in Paris believe a large amount of the jewelry was Kardashian West’s own.

Us Weekly says it was told by an insider that one of the celebrity’s large Lorraine Schwartz rings was taken by the robbers.

When Kardashian West was photographed in New York after the robbery, she was without the diamond ring she recently received from her husband, Kanye West. It’s reportedly a 20-carat diamond ring designed by Schwartz.

Her engagement ring, which she received in 2013, is a 15-carat diamond ring also designed by Schwartz.

The word from People magazine is that “the $4 million ‘second’ engagement ring from Kanye gave Kim is one of the pieces she will not be returning to the Calabasas with.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
