Meanwhile Kim has been seen out without her own wedding ring on multiple occasions since January when conjecture began to circulate about the split.
Kim finally filed for divorce this past Friday after more than a month of rumors that shew as on the verge of ending the marriage.
A source told The Sun this week: 'In the last two weeks, Kanye was attempting to sell jewelry he had purchased for Kim to at least two top jewelers.'
The insider clarified: 'Although he never ended up selling the jewelry he was talking about how he didn't want to reminded of the past.'

Kim has enlisted the services of top showbiz divorce lawyer Laura Wasser who also represented her when she left her second husband Kris Humphries after 72 days.
The reality TV superstar is requesting joint custody of her and Kanye's children North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, one.
Both parents are amenable to the idea of split custody, they are both willing to let their prenuptial agreement stand and the property settlement is well on its way to being sorted out, TMZ reports.
Kim is allegedly worth about $780 million according to a Forbes estimate last October, and the same magazine reported last week that Kanye is worth $1.3 billion.

A source told DailyMail.com: 'The split is amicable and there is no drama,' and a Deadline insider predicted 'a fairly straightforward and hopefully quick process.'
'He thinks that the Presidential run was the straw that broke the camel's back. Before that, there was hope. After that, none. It cost him his marriage,' a source told People.
Kim married Kanye in Florence, Italy in 2014 in a bridal gown designed by his friend Riccardo Tisci, but last year the problems in the marriage became a spectacle.

After his presidential campaign rally on July 19 in which he tearfully revealed he and Kim considered aborting their daughter North, he launched into a days-long string of Twitter rants denouncing his wife and his mother-in-law Kris Jenner.
He claimed Kim and Kris tried to have him committed and accused his wife of having an inappropriate relationship with the rapper Meek Mill.
Kanye, who referred to his mother-in-law as 'Kris Jong Un' in one of his outbursts, also posted and deleted a tweet claiming he was 'trying to divorce' his wife.
Amid her husband's Twitter rants Kim, who was reportedly livid that he shared the abortion story publicly, made a statement saying the family was 'powerless' to intervene in Kanye's bipolar disorder issues since he is an adult.
The couple then traveled to the Caribbean with the pastor who married them for what was widely reported as a make-or-break trip to save their relationship.
Kanye and Kim's already strained relationship reportedly was dealt its final blow after the couple had 'a big fight in early December,' an insider told Us Weekly.
