Angelina Jolie's engagement ring costs approximately 250k dollars

The huge ring Angelina Jolie has been showcasing after Brad Pitt proposed to her recently is said to be worth 250,000 dollars.

The famous actor got the emerald cut diamond ring particularly designed for his sweet-heart by their personal jeweler Robert Procop.

Jolie, 36, showcased the new engagement ring that her partner has given to her when the couple attended a private art viewing at LACMA Wednesday.

"Emerald cut diamonds have fewer facets so they're don't have the sparkle of other cuts, but that also means that they need to be the best quality," jewelry expert Michael O'Connor told Us Magazine that the centre stone is approximately six carats.

"The light returned from a diamond like this is pure and white. Since Brad and Angelina always choose elements that are deeply symbolic and emotional, it's no doubt that Brad chose a platinum setting to symbolize a love that will never fade, since this ring will become a piece of heirloom jewelry.

"I would estimate this ring to cost 250,000 dollars," he explained further.
