Pineider Limited Edition La Grande Bellezza Fountain Pen. Only 37 Were Made In This Color. Each Pen Is Individually Number ##/37. Charcoal Grey & Gold. The pen is fitted with a 14K Gold, Quill Flex Nib in Fine Point. The Pineider La Grande Bellezza Gemstrones or The Great Beauty, is inspired from gemstones and their unique colors, realistically recreating semiprecious stones that in the past have been imitated using celluloid material. The celluloid has been substituted with a resin based material, with an high percentage of marble dust. The marble dust was added for three reasons: By adding this material, they have made a harder compound to increase the shining of each color with a high gloss polish. The addition increases the specific weight of the material, making it more consistent. Spreading the color range, recreating a marble design from the primers of the resin.
A (figurative) steal at a pen show this year, this pen is identical to one I use on a daily basis, but is in brand new condition. There may be a few hairline scratches on this notoriously-durable UR resin from Pineider (please inspect the photos carefully), but I struggled to find any. In using my identical pen, I found the nib needed just a little’wearing in’ on a couple of rough pages. After that, it writes like a dream with a medium ink flow. A Pineider converter is included they even released a “blacked out” version for their matte black accented models, which I thought was funny. However, like most of its siblings, this pen can also take a standard cartridge. Note the extra’easter egg’ that is the Florence, Italy skyline along the waist of the pen. It’s the city where Pineider is based and manufactures the Avatar. The Avatar UR fountain pen is a magnificent tribute to the world of Avatar. The cap ring is a tribute to the Florence skyline, and the clip evokes a goose feather. Made in resistant ultra-resin with a stainless-steel palladium-plated nib, it has a magnetic Lock System and comes in an elegant luxury box. Works with both cartridge and converter filling systems. Avatar can become an inseparable lifetime companion, a true alter ego. Our ink has been formulated specifically to avoid drying out.
