In addition to her film work, Jolie and Procop have been long-time collaborators in a collection of jewels called “The Style of Jolie” in which proceeds are used to promote education and establish schools in conflict-affected countries through the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which builds schools for children around the world.
The first of the schools opened for girls in April 2013 in Afghanistan outside Kabul.
It educates from 200 - 300 girls.
In addition to the unveiling of the Star of Jolie, Procop will also debut new pieces from his collection with Jolie, as well as pieces from his Exceptional Jewels collection.
A portion of the sales from this event will be donated to charity.
After Southern California, the piece will travel to Saks Fifth Avenue stores in both Bal Harbour, Florida, and Palm Desert, California, in November.
The tour will conclude at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., in December.
The world’s largest known star sapphire is the “Star of Adam,” an oval-shaped blue star sapphire, currently the largest star sapphire in the world.
It weighs 1,404.49 carats and its estimated cost is at least $100 million.
It was discovered in Ratnapura in southern Sri Lanka, in August 2015.
