Couple's private jeweller Robert Procop
reveals actor commissioned diamond design
Angelina, who has six kids with Brad, sparked the rumours earlier
this week by wearing a gorgeous (and huge) ring by Robert Procop to an event in
LA.
No one thought too much of it, because we’ve been speculating
about a Jolie-Pitt wedding since they got together seven years ago, before some
very convincing evidence has just presented itself.
The designer of the ring that Angelina was wearing at the LA
County Museum on Wednesday stepped forward to reveal that it WAS an engagement
diamond.
Not only that, but he worked with Brad to design it (cue
ahhh-ing).
Then
later tonight, Brad's manager Cynthia Pett-Dante confirmed the news.
She added there isn't a wedding date "at this time." She
also said that the engagement "is a promise for the future" and that
"their kids are very happy."
Jolie's personal jeweller - who helped Pitt create the engagement
ring - revealed that Pitt spent a year designing the piece.
A spokeswoman for diamond expert Robert Procop, who has worked
with the Hollywood star for over a decade, said the ring was a specially
selected diamond, mounted among several smaller ones and was first privately
unveiled yesterday.
She
said: "Working closely with Brad Pitt to realise 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."
Amazing.

"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
special jewel to Angelina Jolie."
Well, it looks pretty impressive to us.
