 Luxury Gifts: A jeweled, handcrafted writing implement made by Tibaldi is more than just something to mindlessly pick up and jot down a phone
number or fill out the weekly grocery list. It is a stately possession that magnifies a holder's level of
status, character, and refinement. A Tibaldi is an
instrument of writing that has been seen in the
distinguished hands of kings, statesmen, dignitaries, scribes, and innumerable individuals of distinction
for 90 years. These acclaimed fountain and roller-ball
pens are crafted with a precision generally seen only
in limited editions or one-off fine-jewelry. The
patented inner workings of a Tibaldi are made with the
same precious metals deployed by highly regarded Swiss
horologists.
The limited-edition Divinas commemorate the
Italy-based firm's recently celebrated ninetieth
anniversary. All precious metals used in the
manufacturing of the Divinas were produced and
prepared in Switzerland. The Swiss Federal Custom
Office for the Control of Precious Metals in Geneva
certified each of the 618 produced. The pyramid-like
finished trim stems from 16th century designs. The 18k
solid gold nib of the pen has an engraved image of an
eagle.
Tibaldi writing instruments have sterling silver or
18k gold finishes. Other fine collector's editions
include tributes to soccer's Pele and the Bentley
automobile. The latest exclusive release is the Da
Vinci Code collection, which was commissioned by Sony
Pictures. The Da Vinci Code collection consists of 618
sterling silver fountain pens and 618 sterling silver
roller balls. There also are 61 solid 18k gold
fountain pens yet only 18 (per firm's website) solid
18k gold fountain pens.
With a Tibaldi in hand, the pen is a mighty powerful
instrument of status.
