Find coin pendant mountings for popular U.S. and world coins. Whether you have a gold coin, silver coin, commemorative coin, Liberty coin, Indian Head coin, American Eagle, Krugerrand, Peso, Sovereign, Roman coin, or another meaningful coin, the correct coin diameter is the key to choosing the right pendant mounting.
Find the Right Coin Pendant Mounting for Your Coin
A coin pendant mounting is designed to hold your coin so it can be worn on a chain. Because coins come in many different sizes, countries, denominations, and years, the mounting must match the exact coin you own.
What Is a Coin Pendant Mounting?
A coin pendant mounting is a jewelry setting made to hold a coin so it can be worn as a necklace pendant. The mounting frames the coin and usually includes a bail at the top where a chain passes through.
Coin pendant mountings are often used for gold coins, silver coins, commemorative coins, world coins, U.S. coins, Roman coins, and family heirloom coins. Many customers choose a coin pendant mounting because they want to turn a meaningful coin into wearable jewelry without drilling a hole through the coin.
Coin Pendant Mounting vs. Finished Coin Pendant
A coin pendant mounting is the empty setting made to hold your coin. A finished coin pendant already includes the coin. This difference is important when shopping online.
Coin Pendant Mounting
Choose this if you already have a coin and need a pendant setting to hold it. The mounting must match your coin’s diameter and style preference.
Finished Coin Pendant
Choose this if you want to buy the complete pendant with the coin already included. This is a finished jewelry piece and does not require you to provide your own coin.
How to Choose the Right Coin Pendant Mounting
The most important step is identifying your coin correctly. Coin pendant mountings are size-specific, so a mounting made for one coin may not fit another coin, even when the coins look similar.
Before ordering, confirm the coin name, country, denomination, year, and diameter in millimeters if possible. Then choose the pendant style you prefer, such as a screw-top coin bezel, prong coin bezel, plain bezel, rope-style bezel, or decorative pendant mounting.
Coin Pendant Mounting Size Guide
Coin pendant mountings depend mainly on the coin diameter. This measurement is usually given in millimeters. A small difference in millimeters can decide whether the coin fits properly.
| What to Check | Why It Matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Coin name | Helps identify the correct coin series and matching mounting. | American Eagle, Krugerrand, Liberty, Indian Head, Peso, Sovereign |
| Coin denomination | Many coin series have several sizes, and each denomination may need a different mounting. | $2.50 Liberty, $5 Indian Head, 1/10 oz Gold Eagle, 1/4 oz Krugerrand |
| Coin diameter | This is the key measurement that determines whether the coin will fit the mounting. | 16.5 mm, 18 mm, 22 mm, 27 mm, 32.7 mm |
| Coin year | Some coins changed size or design over time, so the year can help confirm the correct fit. | Liberty gold coins, older world coins, commemoratives |
| Mounting style | Different styles hold and display the coin differently. | Screw-top, prong, rope, plain, diamond-cut, decorative |
Screw-Top Coin Pendant Mountings
Screw-top coin pendant mountings are one of the most popular styles for coin jewelry. This type of mounting usually uses a small screw at the top to help secure the coin inside the bezel.
Many customers like screw-top coin bezels because they create a classic coin pendant look. Depending on the design, a screw-top mounting may allow both sides of the coin to remain visible.
Prong Coin Pendant Mountings
Prong coin pendant mountings use small prongs to hold the coin in place. This style can create a more open look and may show more of the coin face.
Prong mountings can be a good choice when you want the coin itself to be highly visible. As with all coin mountings, the fit must be correct. If the coin is too large or too small for the mounting, the prongs may not hold it properly.
Gold Coin Pendant Mountings
Gold coin pendant mountings are popular for American Gold Eagles, Krugerrands, Mexican Pesos, Sovereigns, Liberty gold coins, Indian Head gold coins, Maple Leafs, and other U.S. and world gold coins.
When shopping for a gold coin pendant mounting, do not rely only on gold weight. Two gold coins with the same weight may have different diameters. Always choose by the exact coin name, denomination, and size.
Silver Coin Pendant Mountings
Silver coin pendant mountings are used for select silver coins, silver rounds, commemorative coins, and larger coins such as Silver Eagles. Because many silver coins are larger than fractional gold coins, it is especially important to confirm the diameter before ordering.
Larger silver coins can make bold pendant pieces. Make sure the chain and bail size are appropriate for the finished pendant.
Popular Coins Used in Coin Pendant Mountings
American Eagle Coin Pendant Mountings
American Eagle coins are available in different gold sizes, and the Silver Eagle is larger than the Gold Eagle coins. Always match the mounting to the exact American Eagle coin.
Krugerrand Coin Pendant Mountings
South African Krugerrands are popular gold coins for pendants. They are available in fractional and 1 oz sizes, and each size needs the correct mounting.
Mexican Peso Coin Pendant Mountings
Mexican gold Pesos are commonly used for coin pendants because they come in several denominations and sizes. The mounting must match the exact Peso coin.
Liberty & Indian Head Coin Pendant Mountings
U.S. Liberty and Indian Head gold coins are classic choices for coin jewelry. Since these coins come in different denominations, the correct coin size is important.
Why the Coin Diameter Matters
Coin pendant mountings are not one-size-fits-all. A coin that is too large may not fit into the mounting. A coin that is too small may not be held securely. Even a small difference in millimeters can matter.
This is why the coin diameter should always be confirmed before ordering. If you already know the coin you own, the Coin Bezel Finder can help you narrow the choices by coin name and denomination instead of searching through unrelated products.
Should You Choose a Pendant Mounting or Ring Mounting?
If you want to wear your coin on a chain, choose a coin pendant mounting. If you want to wear your coin on your finger, choose a coin ring mounting.
Larger coins are usually more practical as pendants, while smaller coins may work well for either pendants or rings. The best choice depends on the coin size, the style you want, and how you plan to wear the finished jewelry.
