Maria Montessori Coin Necklace, Teacher Appreciation Gift, Montessori Teacher Christmas Gift, Sterling Necklace This is the ultimate gift for your favorite Montessorian! This necklace is made with a 2 Euro coin from Italy featuring a portrait of Dr. Maria Montessori in a geometric composition with some didactic elements drawn from her educational system. Letters in the design identify Italy as the issuer of the coin, & Luciana De Simoni as the designer. The dual dates 1870 & 2020 mark the year of her birth & the 150th anniversary. Around the edge are the 12 stars of the European Union. On the reverse of the coin there is a map of the European Union with the 2 Euro stamp. This is a brilliant, uncirculated coin that was never used. The coin is approximately the same size as a US quarter. The bezel & bail that hold the coin are sterling silver & you can choose an 18 inch or 24 inch sterling silver diamond cut Figaro chain. It comes in a gift box with a polishing cloth to keep your coin looking great. Here at My Bella Montessori I never drill through the coins when making jewelry with them. I carefully encase each one in a sterling silver or 14k gold filled bezel so the integrity of the uncirculated coin is not degraded. They are true collector's pieces & and I like to keep them in their pristine, undamaged condition. (Plus I think it looks a whole lot nicer!) The bezel holds the coin securely, allowing you to see both sides of the coin. These are not glued onto a solid back like some others out there. A super gift for anyone in the Montessori community! Very limited quantities. Necklace - 2020 Maria Montessori New 2 Euro Coin Pendant On Sterling Silver Chain, Teacher & Guide Appreciation Gift, End Of Year
