Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged. THR claims the exclusive. A Beverly Hills jeweller is taking credit for the ring Jolie wore Wednesday at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Chinese Galleries that took a year to design.
A rep for jeweller Robert Procop told THR: ‘Yes, Robert Procop did indeed design an engagement ring for Angelina Jolie, designed in collaboration with Brad Pitt… Working closely with Brad Pitt to realize the star’s vision for the ring, Robert Procop was able to source a diamond of the finest quality which was then transformed using Pitt’s unique designs, cut with distinctive faceting to a shape and size that perfectly suits Angelina’s long, slender fingers. Throughout, Brad Pitt remained heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design process from the perfect cut of the diamond centerpiece, an elongated tablet shape, to the finishing touches such as the mounting of a galaxy of smaller stones which are graduated in size and faceted to match, adding a crowning lustre to the ring. The full creative journey, from conception to completion, took a year, with Brad Pitt waiting until the perfect moment to unveil this jewel.’
Pitt’s manager confirmed to the Associated Press. Adding that while no wedding date has been set ‘at this time’ the engagement is ‘a promise for the future.’
