I was going to title this blog post: “The Most Expensive Blog I’ve Ever Written.” Chiefly because the 14k “gold” ring I bought specifically to write this serves me no other purpose beyond this article.

Let the battle begin!

Let’s compare unboxings of a 14k ( or as I like to call it a 42% Not Gold ring) from The Other Guys, to a 24 karat gold Menē ring.


The Challenger literally came in a plastic baggie:

This is what the Champion, Menē comes in:

@redwellies

How about the actual products? Let’s take a look at what a 42% Not Gold ring looks like. Take note of the diluted color.

![44C18D22-1EB1-42B2-B919-3800913B4B65.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmetxWkGcwXR6AGquGYd2dzb2P7n1KE4cAbx7Ur7qhr99A/44C18D22-1EB1-42B2-B919-3800913B4B65.jpeg)

Now let’s look at 24 karat gold Menē: (This is the Menē 24k gold NARROW FLAT BAND - BRUSHED)

![A96DD947-3681-4353-8072-D4D1ACC868C0.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZzAXFnwXiVeX7CbfYdgQ1cGZfRCJ8YNVqXbrxZuM1cYR/A96DD947-3681-4353-8072-D4D1ACC868C0.jpeg)

The real test is to weigh these two rings. I have been waiting 6 months to do this!

Challenger:

Champion: 

![76D8C641-CE1C-4225-898D-E696BD368112.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUTgsKJJtQHPdKsJcwRBq4wc7u3XvBkDTsggL2B5emSYB/76D8C641-CE1C-4225-898D-E696BD368112.jpeg)

Rings together:

![5C33D627-10E0-47A6-A8FB-AF41E13BB1F6.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWeTFY8xLk1FVsU6ZhQAZpfTFJreqn6Hmmjq7KHvgHQ8y/5C33D627-10E0-47A6-A8FB-AF41E13BB1F6.jpeg)

But that is not the whole story!

Cost for competitor:

![A4D0872A-8D6B-4F42-9944-145419CB2D59.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXbPx4oDFbyLxETRAEMWYjktxXKKusVKZyScdPAK7gtgW/A4D0872A-8D6B-4F42-9944-145419CB2D59.jpeg)

Cost I originally paid for the Champion:

![79B827CE-D9A9-40BA-A23B-B1A8C61E1E78.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfQxzPB1ek1mkJiPeaZgrws3z54bN3yQ4BYa7RKfMq3TV/79B827CE-D9A9-40BA-A23B-B1A8C61E1E78.jpeg)

Most important thing to note is the following:

The 42% Not Gold ring contains a measly 2.9 grams of gold. At todays pricing (3\28\18) of $42.83 per gram you have $124.20 worth of gold in the Competitor ring. The cost of the ring is $194.99 so you are paying $70 more than the gold value. Said another way, you are paying a 56.45% premium for a lower quality ring.


The Menē ring is a whopping 10.28 grams of pure 100% gold. At todays pricing you have $440.29 worth of gold in this ring. The ring is selling currently for $532.96.  Said another way, you are paying just over a 17% premium for a higher quality ring.

The 42% Not Gold ring is selling for over 3X the Menē premium. 

And it doesnt even look cool.


![E7CBA3B8-0B5A-4C3A-99F6-89DC4BE9F298.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQTp8cmgPgx9MpuAYEcPReVArA77xqfr4ZTGASzK3KcTV/E7CBA3B8-0B5A-4C3A-99F6-89DC4BE9F298.jpeg)

It is important to keep in mind that I found the 42% Not Gold ring after searching for hours for the cheapest experiment ring I could find. This is a non designer ring so even at an over 56.45% premium... most non Menē designer rings are even higher of a premium.

You can read about my adventure and education finding this low quality ring here: https://steemit.com/mene24k/@goldmatters/eyes-wide-open-in-shock

Goldmatters Jr. doesn’t approve of 14 karat gold, but he wore it this time to help prove the point:

![B39705BC-1F8B-4FDA-92E4-D830627B61E9.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVwx4fifLH4iFAgspe3WcTKp44dJ33Zyubp8iqV6hDS2a/B39705BC-1F8B-4FDA-92E4-D830627B61E9.jpeg)

Menē emerges victorious again!

That is impressive. The difference in colour definitely gives it away. Doesn't  even look goldy. More silver /metallic.  Your passion for gold comes across in your articles and makes it more enjoyable to read. You don't just write something for the sake of writing. You actually enjoy talking about gold and that is great. Thanks. Another good post.

I laughed when I saw the plastic bag that it came in. Reminds me of a friend of mine that bought a pair of ear rings on line. They looked cheap and came in a miniature plastic money bag. The funny thing was he got a second pair the next day for free in error. Told him he still overpaid even when he got one set free.

Live in Johannesburg. City of gold. Mine dumps are terrible and full of chemicals. Gets really bad when the wind blows. They are currently going through the old dumps as technology has changed and some are more profitable than mining.

Great post GM — i was waiting for it!

There is literally only a few things to compare here: and Menē trounces the competition in purity, value and design. Well done again!

To the victor go the spoils!

Nice challenge to show Menē's value! The no name competitor coming in at an overall cost of $67.24 per gram of gold versus Menē at $51.84 per gram of gold. OR you could also compare the "craftsmanship charge" behind these rings with the no name competitor coming in at $24.41 per gram of gold craftsmanship versus Menē at $9.01 per gram of gold craftsmanship based on today's gold price.

You shopping around for the best price you could find for a no name comparison shows even more so how extremely discounted Menē's price is. Plus with Menē you get a piece of jewelry with Diana Picasso's design influence and it comes in that beautifully wrapped box.  Why would anyone want to shop anywhere else for jewelry..

The difference is quite clear!!
Even the packaging of the MENE 24k gold ring is of pure class.
MENE products really outlines the fact that quality shouldn't be compromised.

This is a great report. 
As I stated previously, we see the marketing tactics and manipulation of the sellers of the Challenger. . . 
- The challenger has _Comfort Fit_ 
- The challenger is a _Wedding Ring_
- The challenger comes in a _QUALITY Plastic Baggie_  

I am thoroughly amused. Now what happens with the challenger?

Now get someone to wear those rings for a couple of years and report back with what happens. 

the alloy is added to the 24ct to make it durable , that 14kt ring will wear well and last a lifetime. The 24ct ring wont wear well at all - its too soft.

Chiefly because the 14k “gold” ring I bought specifically to write this serves me no other purpose beyond this article." <---hahaha you're crazy, I love it. Wish it wasn't too late to upvote.
