Engraved Book & Pencil Banner Necklace

The story behind this piece

Teaching was one of the first requests we got when I said we were expanding the collection. And it makes sense, teachers are incredibly dedicated, they're often the people who inspired everyone else in the family to pursue their careers, and there's almost nothing on the market that celebrates them the way medical or law pieces do. I wanted it to feel scholarly without being old-fashioned. Like something a modern teacher would actually want to wear, not something that looks like a school award.

For the one who's about to change lives in a classroom.

Teachers are often the people who inspired everyone else in the family to pursue their careers. They spend years training, they pour themselves into every placement, and when they finally qualify there's almost nothing on the market that celebrates that the way a medical or law piece celebrates those graduates. This one is for them.

The pendant brings together an open book and a pencil, the two most universal symbols of education, framing a solid banner in the centre. That banner is yours. Engrave a name, a title, a year, a message, or a dedication, in any language, in any script, on the front, the back, or both at no extra cost.

Engrave the front, the back, or both, at no extra cost. A name on the front, a meaningful date or message on the reverse. Whatever feels right.

Personalised in any language: English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi (Gurmukhi), Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati, Malayalam and more.
