Sign in Style
Nothing says "polished professional" like a truly high-quality pen. Individually handmade writing instruments from Conway Stewart & Company fit the bill- and then some. Case in point: The British pen maker's Centenary or Harlequin, which are limited to just 50 pieces each worldwide. Hand sculpted from solid gold, both captivate with enamel inlays painstakingly built up in layers then fired and polished to a beautiful luster. Quite appropriately, each is fitted with an 18k-gold nib. One look and you'll know, these fountain pens are not just writing instruments, they're pieces of art. $21,000.
