Kanye West 'tried to SELL jewellery bought for Kim Kardashian... days before she filed for divorce'

Kanye West reportedly tried to sell some of the jewellery he had bought for his estranged wife Kim Kardashian, just days before she filed for divorce.

The rapper, 43, is said to have visited two jewellers to get quotes for the items he was considering selling.     

A source told The Sun: 'In the last two weeks, Kanye was attempting to sell jewellery he had purchased for Kim to at least two top jewellers.

'Kanye recently said, "I don't want to be connected to the Kardashian brand anymore" but he was so torn because he still very much loves Kim.

'Although he never ended up selling the jewellery he was talking about how he didn't want to be reminded of the past.'

The insider added Kanye 'really wanted to stay together but she was done'.

During their marriage, the Stronger hitmaker splashed out millions building Kim's jewellery collection.

These included a $1million Lorraine Schwartz diamond necklace as her push present for North, her 15-carat engagement ring worth $3million, two Cartier bracelets and a vintage Cartier gold plaque necklace with a text from Kanye etched into it. 

It is not known what items out of Kim's vast collection Kanye reportedly wanted to sell.
