'Kanye engraved Adidas on the band inside': Kim Kardashian tells all about the $4 million diamond ring stolen from her at gunpoint during Paris heist
She lost her prized new 20-carat diamond engagement ring after being held up at gunpoint in her Paris abode.
But just days before the ordeal, Kim Kardashian shared the touching story of how her husband Kanye West surprised her in the middle of the night by leaving the bauble on her pillow.
The rapper also showed his trademark romantic side by having the $4 million Lorraine Schwartz band engraved - with the word, 'Adidas.'
She told the story after Andy Cohen asked about her 'upgraded' engagement ring, which she first showed off at last month's MTV Video Music Awards, on his show Radio Andy just days before the robbery.
Kim said: 'I was sleeping and (Kanye) woke me up in the middle of the night and said, "Babe, babe, I got you something from Adidas."
'And I said, "I’ll get the shoes in the morning babe, I’m sleeping." And then he put a box on my pillow, a Lorraine Schwartz box, and he goes, "No, open your eyes."
'And I opened my eyes and it was a box, and I like, woke up, and I was like, "What is this?"'
She explained how the College Dropout star told her he had got her a special gift, which he even had personalised for her, to celebrate a business agreement he had just inked.
Kim said he told her: '"Well, you know I just did that big Adidas deal, so I got you something from Adidas!"
'And he engraved Adidas on the band inside because he’s funny like that. '
However there were more laughs to come during the emotional moment, as her man weighed up the idea of returning her other engagement band.
She said: 'I was like, "Do I have to give my other ring back?" and he was like, "Can you do that?"'
But quick-witted Kim stepped in, telling him, '"Nooo! You can’t do that, I’m just kidding." Thank you, Adidas!'
The reality television personality was held at gunpoint in the early hours of Monday morning, with her ring among the pieces of jewellery worth an estimated $8.5 million that were stolen.

Five gunmen disguised as police officers and wearing ski masks to hide their faces bound and gagged her in the luxury Hotel de Pourtalès.
Mother-of-two Kim had been left alone in the suite while bodyguard Pascal Duvier went to high-end nightclub L'Arc with her sisters Kourtney and Kendall Jenner.
Duvier, 43, had earlier filed for bankruptcy in his hometown of Heidelberg, Germany. Court documents show the bodyguard lodged papers some ten weeks ago after reporting debts of more than €1 million.
Kim has been criticised by security experts, as well as fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, for flaunting her jewellery on social media.
Speaking at Paris Fashion Week, the German style icon said: '(She is) too public, too public - we have to see in what time we live.
'You cannot display your wealth then be surprised that some people want to share it.
'I don’t understand why she was in a hotel with no security and things like this. If you are that famous and you put all your jewellery on the net, you go to hotels where nobody can come near to the room.'
