Angelina Jolie's Engagement Ring Designer Flawless!

We admit it: we got it wrong. And we'd like to make it right. Last week we ran a story that we shouldn’t have. It involved Robert Procop, the world- renowned jewelry designer who worked with Brad Pitt to create Angelina's one-of-a-kind diamond engagement ring. It turns out, Mr. Procop was never found guilty of fraud and never had a judgment entered against him for fraud. We apologize for the false information we distributed and our failure to remove the post more quickly.

In doing our homework on Mr. Procop, we learned that he's a pretty good guy. Not only has he designed jewelry for royalty, Presidents and celebrities, but all of the proceeds from his and Angelina's Style of Jolie collection go to build schools for children in Afghanistan.
