Montegrappa Paulo Coelho Fountain Pen

As Master of the written word and of stirring up emotions, Paulo Coelho could not help being won over by the historical name of Montegrappa, which collections have always been the instrument and the expression of the true enthusiasm for writing. In every detail the Paulo Coelho L.E. is a tribute to the personal and artistic journey of the great writer. 1947 limited editions were created; recalling Coelho’s date of birth: 1.000 FP and 900 RB in sterling silver and emeralds and 47 fountain pens in yellow gold, emeralds and diamonds.

In every model of this limited edition, the shaft and the cap and the barrel are manufactured using the fret working technique to highlight the contrast between the black pearl resin and the enveloping sheath in precious metal. Enhanced with the engraving of a butterfly; another symbol the author is keen on, the nibs are made of 18 carat white gold for the silver fountain pen and in 18 carat yellow gold for the gold version. The shaft pays homage to an important experience of Coelho’s: his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

The route covered by the author is plotted out in precious black lacquer in the silver models and in diamonds in the gold one. At the top of the pen, together with the historic Montegrappa logo, is the figure of a compass (with 4 diamonds in the gold version); recalling Coelho’s artistic symbolism. The author’s autograph adorns the cap and the lines of the clip represent the lines of a sword – referring to his masterpiece “The Pilgrimage”.
