Opus 88 Zodiac Snake Fountain Pen

This snake pen is an intricate work of art designed by the founder of Opus 88, Mr. Michael Hsu. It is a re-interpretation of a previous version of the snake pen produced by Opus 88 for another brand. 
 
The pen features a platinum-plated sterling silver serpent encircling gracefully around the pen body and cap. Its lustrous shine contrasts beautifully against the dark blue ebonite with woodgrain stripes.  The ebonite base is also imprinted with various seal scripts with the word “snake” designed by Mr. Tsai Tsung-Hsien, followed by a coat of clear lacquer to protect the imprints.
 
The snake in this re-designed version wraps around in different directions and its body has been further thickened comparing to the previous version.  Then, the snake is securely affixed to the pen body with 11 hand-set rivets, each then adorned with a sparkling crystal. Making this pen is truly a painstaking manual crafting process that requires tremendous precision.
 
The twisting snake form seamlessly flows with no visual break between the cap and body - a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship. The snake is further brought to life with striking red ruby gems that serve as its eyes, while delicately engraved scales enhance its vitality and allure.
 
According to the Chinese Zodiac, the snake symbolizes wisdom, renewal and protection. Let this Opus 88 Zodiac Snake Fountain Pen be the guardian angel on your journey of new beginnings!
 
Nib choices: 18kt gold nib (F or M)
Refilling system: international cartridges/converter
