The pen is made of sterling silver and has a cap that is engraved with five images and esoteric symbols, with contours traced in blue enamel and a piece of coral.

This one is their masterpiece. An exclusive and exquisite pen designed by the oldest most prestigious makers of pen in Italy has had the world spellbound. Believe it or not, but this gorgeous instrument for writing has around 2,000 ‘4C’ De Beers certified diamonds on a two hectogram solid platinum barrel, which, by the way, has a double tone shade because of being rhodium treated. An 18KT gold nib complements the brilliant design.Believed to be the most expensive pen in the world, the price of this pen has not been made open to the public.

Montblanc's Love Letter Ink 2008
A holiday like Valentine's Day is all in the details, and in today's world of emails, text messages, and computerized everything what better detail than to write your sweetheart a love note by hand in beautiful rose colored and rose scented ink. Love Letter Ink 2008 by Montblanc is available either by the bottle or in cartridges, and although it's not clear how strong the rose scent is or how long it lingers (this reviewer says it's fairly short-lived) how great it would be for a long-distance lover to open a perfumed V-Day card along with a delivery of blooms (not to mention it would be so pleasant to write the note as well!).

 

BOB Partington Designs Unique Blood Pen

 

Another fountain pen but this one is really frightening. Dubbed as ‘The Blood Pen,’ it makes use of a syringe filled with blood along with the fountain tip to appall spectators and magnetize close by sharks. The infuriating instrument on the flipside is a battery operated knob that pushes down on the nozzle to dole out blood when wanted. As projected the loathsome feather on the back comes as an obstacle before your efforts to make it a weird creation or unlikely a real fountain pen.

Don’t fall for this instantly as this is created by an independent designer BOB Partington (KDU member) and there are apprehensions attached that some organization may fall in place stop people from picking this kinda stuff.
