Omas Ingegno Scrittorio Limited Edition Solid Gold Fountain Pen

This fantastic piece of art is born during a meeting between Raddaella Simoni Malaguti, daughter of Omas founder, and Alessandro Vezzosi, director of the “Mueseo Ideale Leonardo Da Vinci”, who is a world leading expert on Da Vinci’s work. In Leonardo sketches there were some drawings which have been conidered the rudiments of the current gountain pen. These drawings, even if with some crucial changes, lead to “Ingegno Scrittorio”: 2002 Omas Limited Edition is a celebration of Italian Renaissance. The cylindrical body of the pen is topped by a small sphere adorned with a tiger’s eye cabochon on the 18K gold version and a cornelian cabochon on the sterling silver version. The refined decoration on the body, top and end sections, are inspired by Da Vinci knots. The feeder is made with handcrafted ebonite.
