Full description

This lovely hand crafted custom made fountain pen has natural razor clam and periwinkle sea shells within the dark green resin binder. The shells are all collected from the beaches around South Ronaldsay, Orkney, and the transparent green colour is inspired by the dark winter kelp beds around our beautiful islands. It allows light to refract through this artisan pen, illuminating the seashells within. The fountain pen has a parallel shape to the body and cap with rounded ends, and the triple-lead thread connecting the cap to the body allows them to be separated quickly and easily. The hand-made nib section contains a German made Bock No.5 medium nib connected to a Beaufort Inks converter to hold the ink. The tiny step up (2mm) from the section to the body makes this stunning pen very easy to write with. The pen is 148mm with the cap attached. With the cap removed for writing it is 137mm long, about 15mm wide and weighs 27g. These pens make perfect gifts for the special person in your life, and for any occasion; birthday gifts, wedding favours, or even just for yourself. With these pens, you will always have a small peedie of Orkney with you.
