This classic way of wearing a coin was the preferred way that coin medallions were worn in antiquity. Whether a coin is a genuine artifact or a fine artistic reproduction, it is a token of value. Treated as such, the primary idea of a silver or gold bezel mount is to preserve the coin itself without altering or piercing the inner coin. In jewelry making, coin bezels are also used to protect the mounted show-piece from being damaged while wearing. Finally, bezel mounts from precious metals often accentuate the beauty of coins visually provide a more vivid and dramatic presentation. This is why some of our most popular pendants can be found in this category.
