"After I was robbed in Paris, I haven't bought jewelry," revealed Kardashian. "I haven't really been about wearing jewelry, because when it was taken from me, it was such a—I didn't know I was ready for that experience and what that meant, but I was. I was ready to, like, give it up."

View StoryOn October 3, 2016, Kim was robbed at gunpoint and bound in her hotel room in Paris, France.
According to the police report -- which was filed just hours after the reality star escaped from plastic ties two robbers placed around her wrists and ankles -- Kim described in detail what had been taken from her room: two diamond Cartier bracelets, Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings, a gold Rolex and the diamond cross Jacob necklace. "I think they robbed me of $5 million dollars," she said at the time.
Kim was so shaken by the traumatic incident that she took a three-month hiatus from the public eye and social media. When she returned, she wore little to no jewelry -- a practice she continued in the years since.
The Kardashians is now streaming on Hulu.
