Choose the coin first, then the size you will wear. Most pieces here hold a Liberty coin, a 50 pesos Centenario or a bitcoin, in a plain frame or ringed with diamonds. Keep it light. Nearly every piece sold in the past year weighed under 40 grams, while the big diamond Centenario frames run past 70. Before paying for a framed coin, ask the live chat whether the coin comes with it.
The coin: Liberty, American Eagle, 50 pesos Centenario and bitcoin coin pendants
Pick the coin first, because the frame is built around it. Liberty coins took half the page's sales in the year, from a tenth of an ounce to a full ounce. Next come the bitcoins, gathered on the bitcoin pendants page. Among pieces still for sale, the .925 silver diamond bitcoin sold most in the year. The 50 pesos Centenario, the Mexican gold coin, sits in three diamond frames. The clipped Ashkenazi silver coin sold the most of all in the year and is sold out, so ask the live chat whether another is coming. Other coin frames and four coin rings round out the case.
Coin size: 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, half ounce and 1 oz gold coin pendants in inches and grams
Take a tenth or a quarter ounce to wear every day, and a full ounce for a piece that shows. In the plain Liberty frames, the 1/10 oz stands an inch tall and weighs 6.9 grams with its coin. The 1 oz stands just under two inches. A diamond frame adds height.
The frame: plain gold, diamond coin frames, bezels and spinning coin pendants
Choose a plain frame to show the coin, a diamond frame to show the stones. The stones run from under a carat on the small Lady Liberty to nearly 20 carats around a 2 oz coin. Every listing that names its diamonds' origin says natural. Three bitcoin pieces are made to spin. About half the pieces come in yellow, white or rose gold.
Metal: 14K, 18K, 22K or 24K gold coin pendant, or .925 silver
Read two karats on a coin piece, the coin's and the frame's. Two plain Liberty frames are listed in 24K and 14K gold, and the other two and the Centenario diamond frames in 22K. Five pieces are .925 silver, four of them bitcoins, and those bitcoins made up about a third of the pieces sold in the year. Silver darkens with time, and a soft cloth brings it back. Every gold bitcoin here is 14K.
Buying: the chain for a heavy coin pendant, custom coin frames and returns
Hang anything past 30 grams on a heavy chain. The men's pendants guide explains the match. The two silver bitcoin sets come on a Franco chain. For a coin framed your way, start in the live chat. A deposit starts a 3D drawing, and nothing gets made before you sign off.
A real gold coin, framed or bare, sits outside the standard return in the refund policy, and custom work is final. Anything else may come back within fourteen days of delivery, unworn and unaltered, once we clear it and send our return label. The refund holds back five percent restocking and the return shipping. Questions a listing leaves open go to the live chat first, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.
