Coin Ring 894365
A vintage coin ring in 22K yellow gold — the deeper, warmer, almost-orange shade you only get with high-karat gold. The kind of piece that announces itself the moment it catches sunlight.
Solid 22K yellow gold, 5.2g — heavier in tone and softer in handling than 14K or 18K, with the rich color old-world goldsmiths prized. The coin centerpiece is set into the band, original to the period the piece was crafted.
Currently a size 6.75 — resizing in 22K should be done by a jeweler experienced with high-karat gold (the metal is softer than 14K). A piece with history; not for everyday wear if you're hard on your jewelry, but extraordinary for special occasions.

FAQs:
What's special about 22K gold? 22K is 91.7% pure gold (vs 75% in 18K and 58% in 14K). It's brighter, deeper, and slightly orange in tone — closer to the gold you see in antique and ethnic jewelry. It's also softer; not ideal for hard daily wear, but unmatched for color.
What kind of coin is set in the ring? The coin is original to the piece. Visit our French Quarter storefront or contact us at 504-908-0011 for full provenance details.
Can it be resized? Yes, but use a jeweler experienced with high-karat gold. The metal handles differently than 14K. Contact us at 504-908-0011 for a referral.
