airbrushing and hand painting to show a scene from Romeo and
Juliet on the barrel and the cap features the likeness of
Shakespeare as shown in the engraving of him in the First

Broad and it uses a cartridge converter filling mechanism.

Romeo and Juliet look a bit old for teenage lovers in this
version.

Oh look, another diamond and Swarovski-studded whatsit. This
time the bedazzling takes the humble Sharpie, you know, that
pen you use to label boxes, to a whole different level.

$10,000. The Sharpie is covered with over 1,300 Swarovski
crystals and the clip features 65 perfect-cut Hearts On Fire
diamonds. The pen is being shown off this week in Miami and
will be auctioned for charity on Feb. 6. It is a promotion
for
Sharpie's "Autographs for Action"

Vermeil
Fountain Pen
Once in a while, we come across a writing instrument that is slightly more covet-worthy than others and this seems like one of them. The Vermeil Fountain Pen is made of solid silver and is covered in 18K gold. It has a vintage guilloche design, an 18K gold nib and a worldwide standard converter/cartridge refilling system that makes it convenient to use anywhere, not just at your desk. I'm not sold on the idea that it will make you "feel capable of drafting a treaty," but you just might enjoy writing checks a little bit more. Price: $350.
