Look for Less: Angelina’s Engagement Ring

We recently posted about Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring designed by jeweler Robert Procop. The oblong-shaped diamond stands out flawlessly on a yellow-gold band surrounded by ribbed diamonds, weighing in at an estimated 10 carats, according to People. “The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality,” Robert Procop, who worked with Brad for 12 months on the ring, told the Hollywood Reporter.

If you’re looking for a more affordable version of Angelina’s ring, check out this similar look by Tacori.

This particular ring is platinum with a total weight of 2.4 carats. It accommodates a 1.5 to 2 carat emerald cut diamond in the center and is currently available at the store! Come take a look today!
