Jennifer Aniston has received two engagement rings in her lifetime: one from Brad Pitt and another from Justin Thoreaux. Though both involved massive diamonds, they couldn’t have been more different—and, needless to say, a bit more attention has been given to the one that Pitt presented to Aniston in 1999, five years after they were first introduced by their managers. The high-profile duo (they were arguably the couple of the ‘90s and early 2000s) announced their engagement in November, on stage at a Sting concert of all places. The Fight Club actor grabbed his fiancée’s hand to show off her unique ring, which he made in partnership with Italian designer Silvia Damiani.
