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.
