A COIN. A KEEPSAKE. YOUR STORY.
Gold Coin Bezels
Give a meaningful coin a place in your everyday jewelry. Explore gold pendant bezels by size, compare the two closure types and find the details that make a good fit.
Pendant settings only. Coins and chains are not included unless the product listing says otherwise.
Examples of pendant settings
Start with your coin’s diameter
Choose a size in millimeters, then check the coin’s thickness and the selected bezel’s fit details. A diameter match alone does not confirm compatibility.
Three details make the difference
Know your coin
Check its exact name, year and denomination or weight. Similar-looking coins can have different dimensions.
Confirm the fit
Match the diameter and thickness to the product. Do not size up to make a coin fit.
Choose the setting
Compare the closure, metal and finish, then check the bail against your chain’s end fitting.
TWO WAYS TO HOLD YOUR COIN
Choose your closure
Prong-set
Small tabs fold over the coin’s back edge. The front stays open to the design, while fitting calls for careful, controlled adjustment.

A small screw secures the opening in the frame. Correct coin dimensions and alignment matter just as much as the closure.

FINISH YOUR PENDANT
The chain needs to fit, too.
The chain’s widest end fitting must pass through the inside of the bail. Think about the combined weight of the coin and bezel as well as the look of the necklace.

Read the guideA few questions before you shop
Does the bezel include a coin or chain?
The collections here are for pendant bezel settings. Read the selected listing for its included pieces. A coin or chain shown for illustration is not included unless the listing specifically says it is.
Will any coin with the same diameter fit?
Not necessarily. Thickness, the edge profile and the bezel’s construction also affect the fit. Confirm the exact coin issue and compare all available product measurements.
Can I fit the coin myself?
Some screw-top settings can be fitted with the appropriate tools and care. Prong settings require controlled bending of the rear tabs. Read the relevant guide first and use a jeweler if the fit or procedure is uncertain.
Which metal and purity should I choose?
Compare the options offered for your coin size, your preferred color and the necklace you plan to wear. The bezel’s stated metal and purity describe the setting, not the coin.
What if I cannot confirm the fit?
Contact us before ordering with the coin name, year, denomination or weight, its diameter and thickness if known, and the bezel you are considering. Photos of both sides can help clarify the question.
