The pen is classically designed based on the idea of a skeleton key which has been used for over two thousand years. Many old fashioned skeleton keys were made during an era when elaborate metalwork was prized so the pen was created with a pen clip with intricate decorations and ornamental flourishes. The pen is approximately 5 1/2" long and 1/2" wide (actual sizes vary due to the handcrafting process) and comes with a Parker black ink cartridge. The pictured pen is the pen you will receive and is shipped in a black velour with gold trim gift box usually within 24 hours of the order. Other gift boxes are available in the gift box menu. Pen comes with Certificate of Handmade Authenticity and Registration, instructions for care, and written warranty. There is no finer gift to others or yourself than a stunningly beautiful, totally unique (the only one in the world), handmade quality utilitarian object that will be treasured and used for a lifetime.
