Pen values more than the
signature…
Diamante contains over 30 carats of diamonds and its
creators, Aurora, aren’t shy about telling you it’s the only pen in the world
to have so many. That’s why they make one every year.
The pen is topped with a diamond and is further decorated with almost
two thousand DeBeers-certified gems on a solid platinum barrel. Even the nib is
precious, being fashioned from 18kt gold.
The asking price for the most expensive pen in the
world is not available to the public, but is suspected to be around US $1.28
million. The purchaser may have the Diamante personalized
with their coat of arms, signature or portrait.
Montblanc, a fountain pen and luxury goods
manufacturer, and Van Cleef & Arpels, a jewelry house, are the creators of
the former most expensive pen, a writing instrument known as theMystery Masterpiece. The unique work took over a year
and a half to create by skilled artisans and if you hurry you can have your
choice of three variations, set with 20 carats of sapphires, emeralds, or
rubies, and accented by almost 840 diamonds. The three versions of the
expensive pens were limited to three releases each and each of the nine pens
sold for $730,000.
