DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: THE RISE AND RISE OF ANGELINA JOLIE

Born in 1975, Angelina Jolie has been one of the most famous and recognizable stars in the world since her role as heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, in 2001. Other notable roles include Girl, Interrupted in 1999, Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, Salt in 2010 and Maleficent in 2014. Since 2011, she has also directed two feature films, both moderately successful commercially. Jolie is also noted for her humanitarian efforts and promotes several causes, most notably as Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

 

Jolie has led high-profile relationships. She is divorced from actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton. Earlier in 2016, she separated from her third husband, Brad Pitt.

 

To her impressive resume as actress, filmmaker and humanitarian, Jolie can add that of a jewelry designer. In 2010, she announced her jewelry collaboration with high-end designer Robert Procop, who created her $250,000 emerald-cut diamond engagement ring given to her by Brad Pitt. The line, called “The Style of Jolie”, has featured high-end pieces like a 44-emerald studded necklace weighing 1.3048 carats, a 27-carat emerald ring, pear-shaped emerald earring set in 18 red gold, and more.
