AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian will never get her stolen jewelry back. A police source confirms to Us Weekly that none of the items taken by robbers breaking into her Paris apartment last October could be recovered as they have all been "melted down or re-cut and sold on the black market."
As everyone knows, the stolen jewels included the 20-carat upgraded engagement ring Kim's husband Kanye West gave her last year after inking a massive deal with Adidas. The $4 million sparkler was engraved with the brand's logo and a 15-digit ID code, which cops believe were removed with a high-tech laser before getting re-sold.
Recently, 17 people were arrested in connection to the heist. Ten of them have been charged. Two of the suspects, Aomar Ait Khedache and Didier Dubreucq, spent lots of time in Antwerp, Belgium after the robbery, prompting speculation that Kim's gems might end up in the city which is known as the diamond trade capital of Europe.
Responding to the arrests, Kim was reportedly "relieved." A source close to her recently told ET Online that the mother of two "is deeply relieved to know that this horrible ordeal will all come to an end soon."
The 36-year-old, who spent months holed up in her L.A. home following the horrible incident, has now returned to the spotlight. This week, she made her first official public appearance during her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic's Master Class in Dubai. A few days ago, she filmed a cameo for "Ocean's Eight" with her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.
