Here's the situation ... the singer officially kicked off her “12 Days of Really Rare Stuff” to celebrate her upcoming album with Benny, "I Said I Love You First." As part of the promo, she's selling a personal sentimental item each day.

Fans were blown away when they saw she was selling THE "B" ring for a mere $12 ... especially after the custom Jacquie Aiche design was reported to be worth more than $3,000. Of course, multiple fans added it to their bag and checked out ... and were naturally confused when they realized more than one had been sold.

Listen to it for yourself ... the woman -- identified only as a Jane Doe -- can be heard telling the investigators that Jay-Z was at the party, but he never engaged in any sexual activity with her.
