Offering up this merelani mint and mahenge spinel 14k rose gold ring size 9, sizeable. The stones are very well cut, Portuguese cut (no true windows, you may see a tilt window but that's it; these are nice). All are untreated stones.

However, it has an issue with one of the bezels not being very well done (in this pic it's the far right bezel); this was unfortunately not anything I was ever compensated for, but I will be marking it down regardless to less than the cost of the stones. It doesn't compromise the integrity of the setting; it's a superficial issue, visible from top, no issues with the bottom of the bezel (and only affects one, not all three).

Due to this, I'm asking $450 OBO, which is less than I paid for the mints alone, and includes nothing for the mahenge or the setting. It's completely wearable as is - or scrap it, use the stones, and sell the gold! The mints alone were $500. The mahenge is a very pretty pink, but due to the relatively smaller size (5.3 mm) would probably sell for around $200ish - hard to say exactly, that's what I paid 2/3 yrs ago and prices have only gone up, but that gives you an idea. Due to the bezel issue I'm marking this one way down; you could scrap the setting and resell the stones/gold and quite possibly even make money - but I don't have the time for that, so here we are :). All sourced from Yvonne Raley.

The mints are very nicely saturated, and the mahenge is very pink - this one always reminds me of a watermelon! Mints are 5 mm each, 1.15 tcw, mahenge is 5.3 mm and roughly .80 cts, I believe. All three match in the cut, round Portuguese. The bezels are low profile with open backs and small openings on the sides, allowing for light and easy cleaning.

I can take more pics on request - any questions, just ask.

I ship within the US only (due to insurance issues with int'l shipping). PayPal only please. I'm katharath on PS, and I've had many successful transactions here, selling from my personal collection as my preferences change. Please ask all questions before buying - as I'm not a trade person, and I almost always discount my pre loved items rather a lot, the understanding is that sales will be final. I am happy to provide any further info that I can, upon request.
