If you didn’t stumble upon the news of Kourtney Kardashian’s engagement whilst scrolling through social media or watching the Sunday night news then where were you hiding. The news of the eldest Kardashian daughter’s engagement broke to the entire world the moment Travis Barker bent down on one knee to pop the question.

Although speculation, we turned to some reliable sources to get a better understanding of the statistics for this breathtaking engagement ring.
