THE JSN COIN BEZEL GUIDE

Will your chain fit your coin bezel?

The chain is only part of the fit. The largest piece that must slide through the bail can determine whether the necklace goes together.

  1. Measure the chain

    Check its widest and thickest parts, including any sections that are wider than the main links.

  2. Check the end that must pass through

    Measure the end cap, connecting ring or clasp that you will thread through the bail. A slim chain with a bulky fitting can still be too large.

  3. Compare the bail's inside opening

    Use the usable internal width and height, not the outer dimensions of the loop. Its shape matters, so leave enough room for the fitting to slide through naturally.

Do not push a clasp through a tight opening or twist the bail to test it. If the internal dimensions are not listed, ask us about that exact bezel.

Use 2–3 mm as a starting point, not a guarantee

Many of our bezels accommodate chains around 2–3 mm wide, based on our experience. End fittings and bail shapes vary, so this range does not confirm that a particular necklace will fit.

A larger coin frame does not necessarily come with a larger bail. For a wider chain, an unusually shaped end cap or a close measurement, check with us before ordering.

Send the measurements that matter.

Include the bezel product link, chain width and thickness, and the widest dimensions of the end fitting. A close photo of that fitting helps explain its shape.

Think about the weight you will wear

The necklace will carry the coin and the bezel together. Consider the chain's construction, condition and clasp as well as its width. Have a jeweler assess the combination if the pendant is substantial or the chain is delicate.

JSN's chain collections let you explore different styles, lengths and widths. Check the actual end fitting and the bezel opening before choosing a pair.

If the pieces do not fit together

Can the bail be made larger?

A jeweler may be able to modify or replace some bails, depending on their construction. Ask for an assessment rather than assuming every loop can be enlarged. Contact us before altering an item you may want to return.

My chain fits, but its end cap does not. What now?

Stop before forcing it. Ask a jeweler whether a suitable end-fitting change or another bail is practical, or choose a different combination after checking both measurements.

Are chains included with these bezels?

No. The coin bezel listings are for the pendant setting. Coins and chains are separate, so plan the whole necklace before ordering.
