Half Ounce American Gold Eagle Ring Sale price3,500.00

The American Gold Eagle—refined in scale, uncompromised in substance.

This ring begins as a genuine 0.5 oz American Gold Eagle, the fractional counterpart to the United States’ official gold bullion coin, minted 1986–present. Like its full-ounce counterpart, it is struck in 22-karat gold (.9167 fine)—delivering depth, warmth, and density far beyond typical 10k–14k commercial jewelry.

Compared to the 1 oz American Gold Eagle Ring, this version offers a more compact, proportional profile, making it especially well-suited for medium or smaller hands, or for those who prefer a bold gold ring without the larger footprint of a full-ounce coin.

This is still very much a real gold ring.

Most finished rings weigh approximately 13.5–14 grams, depending on size—heavier than most traditional gold wedding hands and immediately recognizable the moment it’s worn.

The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty, one of the most revered designs in American coinage—confident, enduring, and unmistakably American.

Finish: Offered exclusively in Polished, bringing the gold to a mirror-bright luster that highlights its richness and sculptural detail. Clean, refined, and appropriate for daily wear or formal occasions.

Gold Content & Weight Clarity

The original coin contains one-half troy ounce of pure gold. During forging and finishing, a small amount of material is necessarily removed. Final ring weight varies by size, with most rings finishing in the 13.5–14g range.

The American Gold Eagle (0.5 oz)

  • Years Minted: 1986–present
  • Gold Content (Coin): 0.5 troy ounce pure gold
  • Composition: 22-karat gold (.9167 fine)
  • Designer (Obverse): Augustus Saint-Gaudens

The fractional American Gold Eagle offers the same integrity, artistry, and gold quality as the full-ounce coin—presented in a format favored for balance, versatility, and wearability.

Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty remains the definitive symbol of American confidence and permanence.

Heirloom quality in every detail.

Each ring begins as a genuine ½ oz American Gold Eagle, selected for its sharp relief and pristine condition. Using a multi‑stage hand‑forging process, we transform the coin into a ring without losing a single element of the original design—from Liberty’s flowing gown to the eagle’s finely detailed feathers.

No casting. No shortcuts. Every piece is shaped, polished, and finished by hand, ensuring it’s as unique as the coin it came from. Choose a brilliant polished finish for maximum radiance or an antique patina that adds depth and contrast.

With a narrower band than the 1 oz version, the ½ oz American Gold Eagle Coin Ring offers an ideal balance of comfort, presence, and significance for everyday wear.
