Small but VERY expensive gift

Brad Pitt proudly showed off his new gift from his leading lady Angelina Jolie - a diamond pendant engraved with a microscopic love message.

The Hollywood star, 47, touched down at Los Angeles International airport yesterday looking dapper and handsome.

Wearing a black t-shirt, black leather jacket, flat cap and dark glasses, the actor looked in good spirits and smiled at the waiting cameras.

Jolie has swapped ghoulish blood phials with her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton, which they wore around each other's neck.

But now that she is a respectable mother of six she has come up with an unusual necklace for her current love and father of her children.

She commissioned London-based jeweller Robert Procop to make a diamond pendant for him — worth a hefty six-figure sum — engraved with a note that is not visible to the naked eye.

Exactly what Angelina, 35, has written in her billet doux is a secret.

Procop said: ‘I can’t tell you what it says, and you would need a microscope to read it.’

The pendant is based on Ancient Egyptian amulets that contained hidden messages.

Procop was this week guest-of-honour at a party in Mayfair, London to mark his appointment as editor of the book Famous Diamonds, a new edition of which  is out next year. 

‘The technology is quite new,’ he adds. ‘The hidden message is lasered on.’

A close friend of Jolie, Procop is also going into business with her, designing a jewellery range called The Style Of Jolie.
