Natalie Portman’s Eco Engagement Ring!

Natalie Portman has always been one of our the world’s coolest green celebs. From her involvement with our fave charity, Global Green USA, to her awesome vegan shoe line, Natalie’s been an eco-hero for years.

So when it came to choosing an engagement ring, Natalie’s fiancé Benjamin Millepied held true to her green values and selected a handmade design made with an antique old mine cut center stone and conflict-free pave diamonds surrounding it, all set in recycled platinum.

Way to go Natalie and Benjamin! You’re not just eco-chic, you’re totally on-trend, with conflict-free diamond engagement rings more popular than ever in 2011.
