🛠️ How to Install a Gold Coin into a Prong-Set Bezel (Easy DIY Guide)
Turn your collectible coin into stunning jewelry! Our prong-set bezels make it simple to secure your gold coin at home using just a few common tools.
🧰 What You’ll Need:
- A soft cloth or towel (to protect your surfaces and coin)
- A small flathead screwdriver or butter knife
- Optional: Cotton gloves (to avoid leaving fingerprints)
✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Workspace
Lay a soft cloth on a flat surface. This helps protect both your coin and the bezel during installation.
2. Position the Coin
Place your coin into the bezel so it sits flat, centered, and aligned as you'd like it to display.
3. Bend the Tabs
Use your tool to gently press the prong tabs (located on the back of the bezel) over the edge of the coin. Work in opposite positions—top, bottom, left, right—to apply even pressure and keep the coin centered.
4. Secure the Coin
Continue bending the remaining tabs until the coin is held firmly in place. Apply just enough pressure to secure it without damaging the coin or bezel.
5. Check Your Work
Ensure the coin doesn’t move. All tabs should be snug and flush against the back edge of the coin.
💡 Tips for Best Results:
- Handle your coin by the edges to avoid smudging or scratching it.
- Always work over a soft surface in case you drop anything.
- Don’t use excessive force—slow and steady pressure works best.
