Jack Row Mirage Black-Antique Finish with Marquise Cut Black Sapphire

Each Jack Row Mirage writing instrument is individually handcrafted from solid sterling silver by award winning British pen designer and silversmith Jack Row.

Inspired by the organic, shimmering patterns formed in desert sands, the sterling silver cap and barrel of this luxury pen are lavishly entwined with sixty-five feet of hand-wound silver wire, creating an intricate yet tactile texture that is entirely unique to every piece.

Black-Antique Finish with Marquise Cut Black Sapphire

This model features wound wire which has been oxidised and then carefully polished back, to create a subtle black antique finish with selective highlights. The contrast of dark and light gives an understated yet luxurious presence, in harmony with the highly polished silver trim.

The unique, spring-loaded clip is individually set with a glittering half-carat (0.5ct) black sapphire, cut in the iconic ‘Marquise’ or ‘Navette’ shape.  The dark colour of the jewel complements the black patina of the wire and adds a distinguishing touch, usually associated with fine jewellery and Objet d'art. The marquise cut’s origin reputably dates back to King Louis XV (of France 1710-1774) who commissioned a jeweller to the royal court to create a cut that resembled the lips of his mistress.
