Uh oh. Savvy Mene 24k fans will know that this looks VERY bad for the Challenger already.

The Challenger bracelet is 18 karat gold. 18 karat gold is actually only 75% gold or as I like to say 25% Not Gold! This means what is important here is the GOLD GRAM WEIGHT.

GOLD GRAM WEIGHT:

Mene 24k gold gram weight: 99.96 grams

Challenger gold gram weight: 51 grams

YIKES FOR THE CHALLENGER!!

Shall we go to the final round?

Mene fiat price:

Challenger fiat price:

For the Mene 24 karat gold bracelet you are paying $1400 less for 31.96 more grams of gold.

Put another way, you are paying $1400 more for 31.96 less grams of gold with the challenger.

Wow.

Clearly:

Mene is the winner by way of:

![EFFF5D90-6BFF-421A-BDA3-55F57F5B26D1.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUZGtDW2xfEsUJJpJoXm9W1up6ybAtcYF3c1XMJCFkSMG/EFFF5D90-6BFF-421A-BDA3-55F57F5B26D1.jpeg)

The purpose of these gold jewelry battles is to give a general sense of how insane the expectations for what we are supposed to pay for diluted gold have become in the Western part of the world.

Mene is destroying this ridiculous paradigm by pricing gold and platinum jewelry based on the currently price of the metal each day times gram weight with a small design fee.

Companies that sell diluted gold like the Challenger for wildy inflated prices days are numbered. 

See you at the next battle :)

Hi goldmatters. You had me a little worried in the beginning when I saw the frying pan lol. I thought some heat was going to be added but we are not that stupid as who knows the cheaper variant may actually melt at less heat.
