hanks to some careful planning and loving thoughtfulness from fiancé Benjamin Millepied, Natalie Portman’s engagement ring embodies much of the same eco-friendliness by which the Oscar-nominated actress lives her life.
Created by jewelry designer Jamie Wolf, Portman’s custom-designed ring is made of recycled platinum and its diamonds are certified as conflict-free, reports People.
“Ben was exceptionally thoughtful and dedicated and patient to make sure we had everything right,” Wolf told InStyle. “We wanted everything about the ring to speak to things that are important to Natalie.”
Active in environmental causes since she was a child, Portman is also a strict vegan.
Earlier this week, she was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her turn as a psychologically traumatized ballerina in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. She met Millepied, a dance choreographer, on the set of the film.

Wolf, whose ring-work includes Anne Hathaway and Julia Roberts as clients, is a former dancer for the New York City ballet and a longtime friend of Millipied’s.
Stylist estimates the value of Portman’s ring to be $35,000.
Ashley Mendel Fox, a designer and vintage gem expert in New York City, told Stylist that the ring reflects a trend of “placing antique stones in modern settings for a couple's romantic version of something old for their wedding day.”
