Super-awakened Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez boasts that her new engagement ring is made of “recycled gold” and has “zero emissions”.
The newly engaged socialist made this statement on Twitter in response to a follower who warned that “your ring must be made of foil, otherwise the right will turn over.”
On Thursday, the AOC confirmed that it will marry its longtime friend Riley Roberts. Photos of the Bronx-Queens MP wearing the rock are quickly spreading online. Her waving live video on Instagram on Thursday night sparked a wave of questions – and speculation – from bling observers.
“It simply came to our notice then. From the photos, I will say that it is a solitaire of 1.75-2.25 carats, decorated in yellow gold, “said John Buckley, owner of Tuscany Rose Watch and Diamond, who reviewed the images of the ring at the request of The Post. “This is a classic but traditional ring, with a touch of the big city.

“The price range can range from $ 10k (Hunts Point style) to $ 30k + (Met Gala and beyond).”
Other experts said the AOC’s zero-emission claim suggested that the diamond was created in a laboratory and not mined from the ground.
Peter Kahan, of Katz Jewelry in the New York diamond region, said the laboratory gemstone would be “significantly cheaper” and would have the added benefit of being politically sound, ensuring it doesn’t come from a conflict zone. .

“If it’s grown in a laboratory, it’s not a blood diamond,” Kahan said.
But he rejected the claim of recycled gold.
“Recycled gold is a marketing term used to promote gold. All gold is recycled. Gold is never lost, “Kahan said, adding that” new “gold is only a small share of the market.
AOC – the daughter of an architect who grew up in Westchester – did not respond to a request for comment from The Post.

Riley Roberts met with the AOC while they were both students at Boston University. Roberts hails from a wealthy neighborhood in Arizona and attends the elite Chaparral High School in Scottsdale.
