    I've seen a few 14k yellow rings with mercury problems, usually in
    shops with out a fume hood / mercury capture system... so I sent
    them away. Usually a few weeks later the same ring was back without
    mercury but in many pieces. The mercury had destroyed the structural
    integrity of the gold, no way to repair other than a new ring. 

    The only bright side to mercury on rings was the look on her face
    when I asked when she broke the thermometer. I've been accused of
    magic, but this one seemingly psychic skill usually closed a new ring
    sale.
