Krugerrand Pendant
A Krugerrand pendant is an elegant and distinguished choice for both formal and casual occasions. 22 carat gold Krugerrands have a natural warm gold tone from the copper alloy they are made with, and this makes a unique and distinctive accent piece. It compliments both fair and dark complexions equally well. Coin pendants were quite fashionable in the eighties, and are making a very strong comeback nowadays. The ladies in the family have a number of pendants- my mother-in-law favors a more decorative frame with diamonds around the Kruger, while my wife favors the classic simplicity of a minimal frame which showcases the coin. Interestingly enough, they both prefer to wear the pendant with the Springbok facing out to add visual interest. They tell me that, while Paul Kruger may be an interesting and distinguished man, he's got nothing on an elegant springbok for making the pendants more of an attention-getter and conversation piece. Mother-in-law also has other coins made into jewelry and she has been breaking them out more and more lately. One thing to note is that a proper frame will not damage the coin and therefore decrease its value in any way. Another piece of advice related to wearing a Krugerrand as a pendant is to make sure that the chain you wear it on is of sufficient strength. The last thing you want is for your treasure to get lost. Another idea is to make sure the clasp on the chain has a safety feature, so that if the clasp breaks or fails there is another layer of safety.

When shopping for your pendant, the majority of the value will be from the Krugerrand itself, since frames for the various sizes of Krugers can be had for as little as ten or fifteen dollars. To make sure that you get a fair price for your Krugerrand pendant, you need to know what the current Krugerrand value is. Gold Krugers are priced based on two components- the current price of gold, and a premium which accounts for the seller's profit and handling fees. You can easily see what gold is trading at by checking the gold spot price (we have a widget to do this in the sidebar- it's the red graph on the white background). Determining the premium is a bit more complex. When stamping out gold coins from the mint, the cost is basically the same whether they are running one tenth ounce or one ounce Krugerrands through the presses. This translates to an inequality in the premium relative to the value of the gold contained in the coin. To put that another way, if you buy a miniature Krugerrand, there will be a higher premium. Something to keep in mind when you're deciding between a 1/10 oz coin and a 1/4 oz coin as the centerpiece for your Krugerrand pendant. We have a page that lists the free market price on eBay, as well as a link that shows you the current dealer prices here at Krugerrand Prices. A classic Krugerrand Pendant can finish off your outfit in style.
On a related note that is designed to stop my wife from bugging me, we spent our honeymoon in Hawaii. My wife fell in love with Hawaiian jewelry and wants you to know about Hawaiian Gold Jewelry, which is one of her favorite places to find gold jewelry including gold pendants. That is where we found our gold wedding rings. No, you will not find any gold Krugerrand pendants there, in part because Hawaii and South Africa are around the world from each other. But, if you do not think that some gold Krugerrand jewelry will keep your wife happy, then try this other site for some very beautiful island-themed jewelry.
