How to Choose the Right Bezel

  • Size matters: Always match the bezel to the exact diameter of your coin for a secure fit.
  • Style options: Prong settings keep the design open, while screw-tops fully enclose and protect the coin.
  • Metal choice: Yellow gold is classic and warm, while white gold offers contemporary contrastβ€”especially for silver coins.
  • Occasion: For daily wear, a secure bezel style is recommended. For special occasions, a decorative rope or diamond-cut bezel adds flair.
