Visconti Divina Elegance Blue Medium Fountain Pen

The Visconti Divina Elegance fountain pen is a pen of divine elegance (quite literally). It’s proportions are based on the ‘Golden Number’, which applies to any pair of dimensions where the ratio of the shorter dimension to the longer is the same as the ratio of the longer dimension to the sum of the two. The answer is actually 1.618, which an irrational number that has been fascinating mathematicians since Euclid’s time. The number also appears in the natural world, and it has been known by architects that a room that has proportions matching the Golden Number will make people fell comfortable.

In a similar fashion, the Visconti Divina Elegance looks and feels “right”, and it is no coincidence that the body of the pen is exactly 1.618 times the length of the cap. The cap and body of these pens are decorated by glorious spirals of sterling silver which match up perfectly whether the pen in closed, or the cap is posted. The Divina Elegance uses the Visconti Hook-and-Lock system to keep the cap safely on.

This is not a light pen, but it is so wonderfully balanced that the weight does not become an issue when writing. Some may find that posting the cap (which is more than a third of the total weight) may throw out the balance for them – aligned spirals or not.

The Divina Elegance is indeed an elegant writing instrument, with a style that proclaims that it was designed and made in Italy. As with all Visconti pens, it features Ponte Vecchio bridge clip.

The Divina range of fountain pens are supplied with the beautifully-engraved 23kt Palladium ‘DreamTouch’ nib, available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and Extra Broad, and 1.3 Stub.
