Billionaire Kim Kardashian flaunted a number of gemstones on her feet during a beach trip with her children last week, drawing mixed reactions.
Kim Kardashian posted a series of photos from her family's tropical vacation on Instagram last weekend, receiving more than 1.4 million likes. A photo of Kim wearing diamond and sapphire anklets caught the attention of jewelry expert and social media influencer Julia Chafe. In a video analysis, Julia said the accessories on the 44-year-old star's ankles cost "more than my house".
"She's wearing four anklets, including a tennis ring, a pink sapphire, and a diamond. Each sapphire is probably around three carats, which is much larger than a typical engagement ring," the jewelry expert said.
Julia Chafe, an expert with nearly a million followers on Instagram, appreciated Kim Kardashian's boldness in wearing many expensive jewelry pieces to the beach, which is rare. Julia also praised the American billionaire's collection of pink sapphires. "She has loved diamonds and emeralds for a long time, so it's interesting to see her switch to pink sapphires," Julia said.
However, under Julia's post, many people said it was not good to wear expensive jewelry to the beach and show it off on social media. One person wrote: "I'm waiting for a meme about her losing her anklet." Another commented: "There's nothing admirable about someone showing off so many expensive things on the beach while people are starving. "I still remember her saying she wouldn't show off her jewelry on social media after being robbed in Paris... She probably doesn't remember anymore".
Kim Kardashian was robbed in her hotel room by a gang of robbers, who stole about $10 million worth of jewelry while she was in the French capital attending Paris Fashion Week. The robbers said they did not know much about Kim but noticed that she often showed off a lot of jewelry on social media, including an engagement ring worth millions of dollars. Notably, Kim once affirmed that she never wore fake jewelry. Last year, Kim wore a massive diamond necklace to the wedding of an Indian billionaire's son, but accidentally lost one of the diamonds.
Kim currently owns a fortune of $1.7 billion, ranking seventh on the list of the world's richest stars. Her assets mainly come from her fashion and cosmetics businesses. In addition, the mother of four is still filming the popular reality TV show The Kardashians and working as a promotional model.
