Find Krugerrand coin bezels, coin pendant mountings, and coin ring mountings for popular South African Gold Krugerrands. Whether you have a 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, or 1 oz Krugerrand, choosing the correct coin size is the most important step when selecting a mounting.
Find the Right Mounting for Your Krugerrand
Krugerrands are one of the most recognized gold bullion coins in the world, and they are often used in coin jewelry. Because each Krugerrand size has a different diameter, the mounting must match the exact coin you own.
Krugerrand Coin Bezel Size Guide
The most important measurement for choosing a Krugerrand coin bezel is the coin diameter in millimeters. Coin bezels and coin mountings are size-specific. A mounting for a 1/10 oz Krugerrand will not fit a 1 oz Krugerrand, and a mounting for another coin may not fit a Krugerrand even if the coins look similar.
| Coin | Gold Content | Approx. Diameter | Common Mounting Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand | 1/10 troy oz gold | 16.55 mm | Coin pendant mounting, coin ring mounting |
| 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand | 1/4 troy oz gold | 22.06 mm | Coin pendant mounting, coin ring mounting |
| 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand | 1/2 troy oz gold | 27.07 mm | Coin pendant mounting, coin ring mounting |
| 1 oz Gold Krugerrand | 1 troy oz gold | 32.77 mm | Coin pendant mounting |
Gold Krugerrand Coin Bezels
Gold Krugerrands are popular for coin jewelry because of their classic design, recognizable South African origin, and warm gold color. Krugerrands are 22k gold, made with gold and copper alloy, which gives the coin its distinctive appearance.
When shopping for a Krugerrand coin bezel, do not choose only by the word “Krugerrand.” Choose by the exact size: 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, or 1 oz. The diameter determines which coin pendant mounting or coin ring mounting will fit.
1/10 oz Krugerrand Bezels
The 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand is one of the most practical sizes for everyday coin jewelry. Its smaller diameter makes it a popular choice for coin pendants and coin rings.
1/4 oz Krugerrand Bezels
The 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand offers a noticeable look without being as large as the 1 oz coin. It can be a good choice for customers who want a meaningful gold coin pendant or select coin ring mounting.
1/2 oz Krugerrand Bezels
The 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand has a larger presence and is often used for pendant mountings. Because of its size, it creates a more substantial jewelry piece.
1 oz Krugerrand Bezels
The 1 oz Gold Krugerrand is a large, bold coin that is most commonly used in pendant mountings. It makes a strong centerpiece when worn on a chain.
Krugerrand Pendant Mountings
If you want to wear your Krugerrand on a chain, choose a Krugerrand pendant mounting. Pendant mountings include a bail at the top so the finished piece can be worn as a necklace.
A Krugerrand pendant can be worn as a personal piece, a gift, or a way to turn a meaningful gold coin into jewelry. The correct mounting helps frame the coin while keeping the Krugerrand as the center of attention.
Krugerrand Ring Mountings
If you want to wear your Krugerrand as a ring, choose a Krugerrand ring mounting made for your exact coin size. Coin ring mountings must fit both the coin and the finger size, so it is especially important to choose the correct mounting.
Smaller Krugerrands, especially the 1/10 oz size, are often more practical for rings than larger coins. Larger Krugerrands are usually better suited for pendant mountings because of their weight and diameter.
Screw-Top vs. Prong Krugerrand Coin Bezels
Krugerrand coin bezels may be available in different styles. A screw-top coin bezel usually holds the coin with a small screw at the top of the mounting. This is a popular style for coin pendants and may allow the front and back of the coin to remain visible, depending on the design.
A prong coin bezel uses small prongs to hold the coin in place. Prong mountings can create a more open jewelry look and may show more of the coin face. Both styles can work well as long as the mounting is made for the correct Krugerrand diameter.
How to Choose the Right Krugerrand Mounting
Before ordering, identify the exact Krugerrand size you own. The size is usually described by gold content, such as 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, or 1 oz. Then match that coin to a mounting made for the correct diameter.
You should also decide how you want to wear the coin. If you want a necklace, choose a coin pendant mounting. If you want a ring, choose a coin ring mounting. If you are not sure which mounting fits your coin, use the Coin Bezel Finder or contact us before ordering.
