While there is no news that the couple have in fact already tied the knot, it appears that Angelina had merely exchanged the jewellery for her official UN work duties.
According to USA Today, Angelina was in the African country acting as a representative for the UN's refugee agency. 
Hague and the star met with survivors of rape and sexual violence, which is frequent in the country.

Their trip to central Africa was aimed at forcing the Group of Eight world powers to address the issue more seriously.
Hague said he would be making the issue his priority when he hosts the annual meeting of G8 foreign ministers next month in London.
'This visit is about hearing first hand from people who have endured rape and sexual violence during the conflict in the eastern DRC,' Angelina said.

'We want to learn the lessons that their experience holds for how the world can protect thousands of women, men and children at risk of rape in many other conflict zones.

'And we want to persuade governments around the world to give this issue the attention it deserves.
Unless the world acts, we will always be reacting to atrocities, treating survivors rather than preventing rape in the first place.'
Angelina and Mr Hague are calling on the G8 to agree that rape and sexual violence constitute breaches of the Geneva Conventions governing warfare.
They also want a new international protocol on the documentation and investigation of the issue.

'More often than not the international community looks away, the perpetrators of these brutal crimes walk free and the cycle of injustice and conflict is repeated. We have to shatter this culture of impunity,' Hague said.
'It is time for real, meaningful action by the governments of the world to say that the use of rape as a weapon of war is unacceptable, to bring perpetrators to justice and to lift the stigma from survivors.
'This is my personal priority for the meeting of G8 foreign ministers.'
The campaign will also be taken to the UN Security Council in June and the UN General Assembly in September.

Discussions on solutions to the conflict with political leaders are also set to take place.

While Angelina travels on official UN duties, her $250,000 engagement ring, which took her fiancé Brad a year to design, is most likely locked up in a safe.  
The ring features an oblong-shaped rock which is inset into a thick ribbed band.
Pitt designed the ring for the mother of his six children in collaboration with jeweller Robert Procop who broke the news of the engagement in a statement last year.
He said: 'Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realised over a year-long collaboration with Robert,' Procop’s team said in a statement. 'He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect.'
The Hollywood power couple later confirmed their engagement in a statement - and their six children were said to be especially happy about the news.

Procop said: 'Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realised over a yearlong collaboration. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so I was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suite Angelina's hand.
The couple are thought to have not yet tied the knot after several rumours emerged regarding planned dates in the last few months.
Angelina has been married twice before - to British actor Jonny Lee Miller between 1996 and 1999 and then Billy Bob Thornton, from 2000 to 2003.
