Platinum Fountain Pens

Platinum fountain pens have their exteriors made of platinum. Their cap and body are plated with platinum so that the pen and the nib do not tarnish. Certain platinum fountain pens also have platinum cases in which they are placed to provide them extra protection. The inner mechanisms of these platinum fountain pens however, are the same as the ordinary fountain pens. These pens are usually equipped with converters and fillers of international standards so that any ink or cartridge can be used.

The platinum fountain pen sets are excellent gift items, for they can also be personalized. The name of the person to whom it is being gifted, or a logo of the special occasion, is often engraved on them. Such engravings are usually available for a minimal additional cost. Apart from being gift items, platinum fountain pens are collectibles as well. Many people who collect pens have antique and vintage platinum fountain pens. As a result of their platinum bodies, these pens can withstand enormous pressures and are unaffected by weather changes and hence, remain intact for years to come.

Platinum plated fountain pens are made by all major pen producing companies but are somewhat limited in edition as they are more expensive than the regular fountain pens. Prices of these platinum fountain pens, not just depends on the amount and quality of platinum used for the outer body but also on the material of the nib. In case of gold nib, the price automatically shoots up. Prices also depend on the accessories which are sold along with the pen like pen stands that may also be made of platinum, platinum ink pots and platinum plated pen cases. These pens are not available freely in the market and are usually either auctioned or produced on demand.
