A spokesperson for the jeweller announced the news to the world, saying: 'I can confirm that, yes, Robert Procop did indeed design an engagement ring for Angelina Jolie, designed in collaboration with Brad Pitt.'

Procop said: 'Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realised over a yearlong collaboration. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so I was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suite Angelina's hand. 

He continued: 'Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. 

'The side diamonds are specially cut to encirlce her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality.'

Pitt and Jolie met on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" back in 2005. They have three biological children (the twins Vivienne and Knox, and daughter Shiloh) and three adopted children (Maddox, Pax, and Zahara).
