Start with the exact coin
American Gold Eagles carry a gold weight and a dollar denomination. Use both to identify your coin: a $10 Gold Eagle is the quarter-ounce coin. It needs a different bezel from the $5 tenth-ounce or $50 one-ounce version.
The modern Gold Eagle has a standing Liberty on one face. Its name also resembles older U.S. gold eagles, so include the coin year when checking fit. Silver Eagles, platinum Eagles and historic $10 gold coins are separate families.

The ounce sizes in the table describe fine gold content. They are not measurements of the pendant or the total weight of the finished necklace. Diameter is a starting point; the rim thickness and the mounting details must agree too.
A 22 mm coin and a bezel described as 22 mm may sound like a match, but always confirm that the listing names the quarter-ounce American Gold Eagle. Never force the coin into a frame.
Make it a personal keepsake
For a birth-year or anniversary keepsake, let the date and coin design stay visible. A narrow polished border keeps attention on the coin; a rope or decorative frame gives the pendant a fuller outline. The bezel adds to the finished width, so compare the complete pendant dimensions when choosing a necklace.
For a larger coin, check the bail opening and the chain end fitting together. A chain that looks substantial is not automatically a compatible fit.
Choose prong-set or screw-top construction based on the selected mounting and how it will be fitted. Check the bail and chain end fitting before completing the necklace. The listing is for the empty bezel; coins and chains are not included.
Compare matching bezels
Use the collection to compare available frames for your coin. Product details remain the final check for fit, metal, closure and what is included.
