Decide between a real gold coin and the bitcoin mark, then buy smaller than the case suggests. All but two pieces sold here in the past year stood under two inches tall, though the case runs bigger. A Liberty coin in a plain frame goes on for good. Set in diamonds, it becomes the piece people notice. Ask the live chat if the coin itself is in the frame before you pay.
Coin or bitcoin: Liberty, Centenario and bitcoin coin pendants for men
Pick the coin first, since the rest is built around it. Seven pieces are Liberty coin pendants, the smallest a tenth of an ounce and the biggest a full ounce. Two hold the 50 pesos Centenario, Mexico's big gold coin. Seven more are bitcoin or crypto pieces, four in .925 silver and three in 14K gold. The silver bitcoins were most of what sold in the year, while the Liberty pieces brought the larger share of sales. A Korean coin replica and two baguette frames finish the case.
Size on the chest: how big a men's coin pendant is, in inches and grams
Start under two inches tall for daily wear. The middle piece here stands 2.25 inches and weighs 52 grams, and ten of the nineteen pass 50 grams, showpieces that sit over the shirt.
The plain Liberty frames make the simplest ladder, from an inch tall and 6.9 grams for a tenth of an ounce to 1.9 inches and 55.4 grams for the full ounce. A diamond frame pushes that full ounce to 2.75 inches.
Plain or diamond frame: plain coin frames, diamond bezels and baguette frames
A plain frame keeps the eye on the coin and takes daily wear. Diamonds make it a piece meant to be seen, and diamond pieces were two in three of those sold. Eleven of the nineteen list their diamonds, all of them natural. The silver bitcoin and the Lady Liberty hold under a carat apiece, and the 2 oz baguette frame nearly 20 carats. Three of the bitcoins spin as you move.
Gold or silver: which karat a men's gold coin pendant is, and the silver bitcoins
Read the metal line twice on a framed coin, since the coin and the frame can differ. The plain 1/10 oz and half oz frames list 24K with 14K. The other two plain frames and both Centenarios list 22K. The bezel and the baguette frames are 18K, the gold bitcoins 14K. Eight pieces offer a choice of yellow, white or rose. Wipe dull silver with a polishing cloth.
Buying: is the coin included, the chain, custom work and returns
Ask whether the coin comes in the frame. The plain 1/10 oz, half oz and full ounce Liberty listings say yes, as does the 1 oz in the diamond bezel. For the rest, ask the live chat before you pay.
Hang anything past 30 grams on a heavy Franco or rope. The men's pendants guide pairs chains with pendant weights.
