خودنویس مونتگراپا Angel

As a lucky charm, an object to touch – from Greek ‘worry’ beads to rosaries to a mezuzah to a rabbit’s foot – a small, physical representation can symbolise this spirit. It can comfort the holder, its mere presence enough to reassure an individual of the existence of a higher spirit, who cares for the welfare of each and every once of us.

To create such a talisman, Montegrappa has designed a pen called My Guardian Angel. For that intangible spirit that guides our lives, a totem of all that is good when times are bad, My Guardian Angel is a writing instrument that recognises the positive energy common to all faiths, in a form that is uplifting and life-affirming.

An angel embraces the pen, in the way that goodness acts as a cloak around the soul. It takes the form of a celluloid cap and barrel in a cloud-like colour, embraced by low-relief engravings in sterling silver or 18k yellow gold, inlaid with sky-blue enamel and turquoise details. The design features an angel standing tall on the barrel, with sword and shield, the clip taking the form of an angel’s wings. The cap’s top is a dome of blue, inlaid with the rays of the sun.

Offered along with the pen will be matching cufflinks and wristwatches. The cufflinks feature an angel armed with sword and shield, the watches a motif of wings and sun rays. Montegrappa will issue 1000 Sterling Silver Fountain Pens, 912 Sterling Silver Rollerball Pens and 1912 Sterling Silver Ballpoint Pens, along with 100 Solid 18k Gold Fountain Pens, 100 Solid 18k Gold Rollerball Pens and 100 Solid 18k Gold Ballpoint Pens. The watches will be offered in a series of 333 in Sterling Silver and 33 Solid in 18k Gold, while the cufflinks will be offered in pairs of 333 in Sterling Silver and 33 in Solid 18k Gold.

It is Montegrappa’s wish that those in possession of these items will feel a sense of inclusion, and of peace.
