Body and cap are both decorated with different masks where certain characteristic features have been gilded. The details of the African elephant, Emperor of animals and symbol of wisdom and knowledge, have been delicately enhanced. The sculpted tip of the body is composed of 800 solid silver that recalls certain mask decorations, and ends with a nib in rhodium-plated solid gold.
Secret of mystical forces, the tip of the cap is enhanced with a magnificent stone from South Africa. A semi-precious gem cut as a cabochon, the tiger eye is part of the quartz family. Truly a living material, it takes its name from the yellow streak of light on the surface that perfectly suggests the eye of a big cat. Just as African masks possess their own special magic, the tiger eye is a stone with protective powers that enable it to repel negative energy. It is also a strong symbol of courage, positive energy and good fortune.
Under the spell of the secret of the masks, owners of a special edition will be fascinated by the mystery and dazzled by the superb goldsmith work carried out on these pens.
