Share
This hand-turned Lux Executive ancient bog oak rollerball pen features 22kt gold and rhodium hardware. The wood is radiocarbon dated at 5500 years old (approx. 3500 BC), independently verified by the Université de Laval in Quebec, Canada. This oak has been lying for thousands of years at the bottom of rivers or in the layers of the ground at the depth of three to seven metres, devoid of oxygen. Tannin, which remains in the wood, reacts with the ferrous salts over the centuries, resulting in the wood acquiring unique physical properties: rich dark colour with remarkable firmness and longevity. It’s a testament to the virtue, strength and beauty that can come with age.
These exceptional writing instruments boast many remarkable features including: A rhodium-plated clip that includes a sparkling Swarovski clear crystal; Accent rings, bands and caps that include elegant custom hand-carved 3 dimensional detailing; Components that are cast, polished then plated with extremely durable 22kt gold; A regal profile accented with brilliant rhodium-plating on all components and a flawless fit and finish; The rollerball assembly includes a rhodium-plated pen nib with a premium Schmidt steel cartridge refill with a ceramic point. The result is superb balance, superior writing characteristics and an overall stylish, polished & elegant appearance.
Rhodium is Earth's rarest and most expensive precious metal due to its scarcity and it’s silver-white metal appearance that provides a durable and ultra-brilliant finish.
