Fountain pen is hand-crafted by our silversmith in Italy using sophisticated gilding process of sterling silver (925). Vermeil can be produced by either fire-gilding or electrolysis. The original fire-gilding process was developed in France in the mid-18th century; however, France later banned the production of vermeil because over time artisans developed blindness due to mercury involved in the process. Today, vermeil is safely produced by electrolysis.

It's interesting to know that the White house  has a collection of vermeil tableware kept on display (when not in use) in the Vermeil room.

Our clients are assured to buy truly precious writing instruments as our company belongs to the Italian silversmith guild, which complies with both compulsory Italian and European law. This compliance is verified by marking each writing instrument with a rhombus shaped stamp encasing the mark “*AO 28”, our guild symbol and oval stamp "925". These stamps insure each customer that we are using solid silver 925.

Our fountain pens are updated with double-use refilling system - both converter or cartridges can be put. The pen is delivered with pumping converter inside and a set of 6 cartridges for gift that furhter can be bought in stationary shops all over the world.

The pen is enhanced with gold-plated Medium-sized nib. Other (Fine, Extra Fine, Broad and very Broad) nib sizes are available on request without any charge. Also solid gold 18 kt nibs are available on special request (including stub/calligraphic nibs).

We ship the fountain pen encased in a made-in-Italy pen gift box with the authentic origin certificate. Lifelong technical assistance is guaranteed.

Worldwide shipping with air mail registered packet is already included into the pen price. Average shipping time is 18-21 days.
