Angie's right leg is about to get really jealous of Angie's left finger.
News that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt could be getting engaged comes from, of all places, a Beverly Hills jeweler. The massive ring was first spotted on Jolie's left finger while she was checking out the Chinese galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art during a private viewing on Wednedsay.
Robert Procop, who already has a whole line of jewelry inspired by Angelina, told The Hollywood Reporter through a rep, "I can confirm that, yes, Robert Procop did indeed design an engagement ring for Angelina Jolie, designed in collaboration with Brad Pitt."
He added that it took a year to collaborate and create the perfect diamond ring:
"Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realized 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. Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality."
There's still no official confirmation about an engagement from Brad, Angie or her right leg.
Update: Now there is!)
