Since America’s inception, a total solar eclipse has graced the continental US only 21 times. Today, totality will be visible in 15 states.
You KNOW we had to celebrate that in a pen!
Presenting: Totality: A Total Eclipse in a Pen. This pen is stunning, made of boutique materials and bespoke engraved appointments. But it’s more than just a pretty pen. The way you interact with the pen is part of the magic.
In the beginning, the pen is mysterious. A swirling shimmer of authentic gemstone dust glimmers throughout the DiamondCast material. The darkness evokes how the skies will appear when the moon eclipses the sun, embodying the shadow of night in the middle of the day. A moon, elegantly rendered in bas relief in silver-toned nickel, shines at the pinnacle of the pen.
When you pick up the pen and unscrew the cap, the moon moves aside to reveal the brilliant luminosity of the sun. The section is crafted from stunning Oparex, in a colorway that evokes the fiery sun with an uncanny lit-from-within glow. All this leads to the sun itself, beautifully engraved on a hand-tuned Bock nib by Kirk Speer.
Once uncapped, the glorious sun shines in all its splendor. But as is the way of things, when the cap is replaced, the moon eclipses the sun once more. And the majestic quietude of night returns.
Hence: A total eclipse, in a pen. That you yourself create.
This luxurious pen is meticulously hand-crafted by Rich of River City Pens. Offered today in celebration of the Great American Eclipse 2024, it is available exclusively at Stationery Universe with a limited run size of 20 numbered pens. Nib sizes are made to order, ensuring your perfect writing experience. To allow for this customization, the pen will ship in two-to-three weeks.
I wish you a dazzling eclipse today. Be sure to look (safely) to the skies, and then celebrate this once-on-a-lifetime occasion with a positively peerless pen.
