Elegant Fountain Pens

Fountain pens are special pens as they are not only used for writing but also fall under the category of collectables. Most of the fountain pen owners apart from using the regular fountain pens also have a variety of rare and elegant fountain pens which add splendor to their collection.

Elegant fountain pens usually have magnificent hand crafted or machine made exteriors that are extraordinarily beautiful and appealing to the eye, as the name suggests. These are made from a variety of materials which range from wood, plastic, gold, platinum to even diamond. Elegant fountain pens have motifs carved out on the exteriors of the pen which add beauty and make them all the more exclusive. Certain exotic types of woods are often used to make the exteriors delicately fragrant. Some of the commonly used wood materials for such pens come from high quality purpleheart wood found in Central America. Even the pens with plastic bodies have different types of designs and prints on them, giving them a touch of elegance. Elegant fountain pens made out of metals are usually made from fine quality gold, sliver or platinum and are quite expensive. These pens also might have certain exclusive motifs on them and can even be personalized or custom made.

Most of the sleekly designed elegant fountain pens are expensive and they are usually priced at $45, $200, $500 or more, depending on the durability, clarity in writing and quality of material used for the exterior. Most of the elegant fountain pens are sold with matching pen cases and at times, matching ink pots too, making them excellent gift items.
