Abalone shell has been used in jewelry making for countless ages. Is is also known as the "Sea Ears" because of it's flattened, oval shape with iridescent interior. Abalone shells have been used by some Northwest Indian tribes for cleansing, offerings and prayers. To create our pens, each strip of the Paua Abalone Shell is carefully cut and then meticulously applied by hand to a brass tube. The Abalone tube is then cast in a clear resin under pressure. The completed pen blank is then mounted on the lathe and the magic and artistry begin! These handcrafted pens are designed with an elegant flair for the discriminating buyer. Abalone shell is a colorful shell that incorporates the beautiful colors of the sea. These collector grade pens are designed with discriminating collectors in mind and handmade using the highest quality components. The pens feature elegant, engraved custom hand-carved insets on the cap and barrel ends surrounded by brilliant rhodium and black titanium plating. The clip is inset with a brilliant Swarovski crystal. The stunning blend of insets and accent band combined with rhodium and black titanium plated components combine to make a distinctive pen of unrivalled beauty. In the tradition of fine desk pens, the Capolavoro is not designed for use with the cap attached to the pen. This ensures that you will enjoy effortless writing and the perfect balance of the pen every time you use it. Just be sure to leave the pen cap in plain sight where others can see what they're missing!
