The
Shiva Limited Edition Fountain Pen is part of the “Divinities” theme in
the Caran d’Ache Artiste Collection, joining the Buddha and Ganesh
Limited Editions.
After Buddha and Ganesh, both spectacular,
mystical pieces, Caran d’Ache honour another Divinity. In collaboration
with the jeweler and artist, Edouard Jud, 108 fountain pens and 55
roller pens have been created, dedicated to the Hindu God, Shiva, and
father of Ganesh. Produced entirely by hand in solid silver with a
distinctive somber finish, these sumptuous pieces evoke all the mystery
and symbolism of the most important figure in the Shivaist tradition.
Shiva, the personification of the absolute, appears on the body and cap
of the writing instruments in several representations of his destructive
and regenerative power.
The
Caran d'Ache Shiva Fountain Pen limited edition of 108 fountain pens
pens pay an exceptional tribute to the rituals and spirituality of
India. The iconic presentation of the God Shiva, adorned with his signs
and emblems, covers the gently rounded body in 800 solid silver
decorations highlighted by gilded detailing.
Special
attention has been paid to the writing block which is engraved with the
Shivaist symbol. The cap of the pen is crowned with an Agate cabochon, a
magnificent stone 8.5mm in diameter. Nearly transparent it allows the
brand’s monogram to be seen. A brilliant diamond of 0.04 carats Top
Wesselton VVS enhances the trident.
The
Caran d’Ache logo appears on the ring of the pen, together with the
individual number and the craftsman’s hallmark, certifying the origin of
the piece. It is here that Edouard Jud signs each writing instrument
individually.
The
Shiva fountain pen can be used with an ink pump or with Caran d’Ache
cartridges. The M-width fountain pen nib in rhodium-coated, 18-carat
gold is also available to order in F or B widths.
The
manufacturing process fully respects Swiss Made quality standards and
the pens are covered by an international lifetime guarantee.
