Jolie, 36, flashed her new engagement ring from her partner of seven years when the couple attended a private art viewing at LACMA Wednesday. “Emerald cut diamonds have fewer facets so they’re don’t have the sparkle of other cuts, but that also means that they need to be the best quality,” jewellery expert Michael O’Connor told Us Magazine of the centre stone, which is approximately six carats. “The light returned from a diamond like this is pure and white. Since Brad and Angelina always choose elements that are deeply symbolic and emotional, it’s no doubt that Brad chose a platinum setting to symbolize a love that will never fade, since this ring will become a piece of heirloom jewelry. “I would estimate this ring to cost 250,000 dollars,” he added. In London, Brad Pitt’s manager has confirmed that the famous celebrity couple are engaged, after the actress was photographed wearing the large diamond ring on her engagement finger.

Pett-Dante also said that “their kids are very happy.” “I can confirm that, yes, Robert Procop did indeed design an engagement ring for Angelina Jolie, designed in collaboration with Brad Pitt,” the Telegraph quoted a spokesman for Robert Procop, the jeweller who made the ring as telling Us Magazine.
