Coin bezels/jewelry

So,

To surprise my wife for Christmas, I decided to get her "Australian Chinese Lunar Year" 1/10th oz gold piece (she likes gold and such). Now, I just need to get a bezel/necklace for it as well.
I take it, a jewelry store is going to be the best place.....any suggestions? Should I have them mount it? Should I do it myself?

1/10th oz isn't that big, but, then, she isn't big either so it will actually look good on her. 1/4oz may have been ok, but this is fine for the size.

Now, this will be the first coin I kill for any numistmatic value (that's ok, I will get her the 1oz as well, to put in the safe deposit box) but then, it is mainly bullion value anyway, right? image

Anyone else done this type of thing before?

    Ken - thanks! I see what I would like, but I already have the coin so I need to look around on their site for the necklace by itself or find one like it. It gives me something to go on image

    Silvertowne sells bezels in various sizes and styles. Most are not difficult to mount the coin in and usually only involve bending down tabs to hold the coin securely in place. I'm sure your wife will love it.
