This beautifully handmade fountain pen is created by applying thin layers of natural abalone shell around a brass tube then coating it with layers of resin to protect it. After several days, the layers of resin are cured and hard enough to be turned on a lathe until the desired shape is formed. No two are ever alike due to the nature of the shell. Pictures don’t capture the beauty of this mesmerizing pen. What better way to sign a special document or mark a new path in someone's life? This pen is truly something that can be treasured and yet is still practical enough for everyday use!
