The Modernista Diamond Fountain Pen

Inspired by Antonio Gaudi and the Modernism art movement, the Modernista fountain pen was created in 1995. Never satisfied, Caran d'Ache took it to the next level, and the Moodernista Diamond Pen was born. Within the panels of the rhodiun coated sterling silver barrels are 5,072 Top Wesselton full cut diamonds totaling 20 carats. An additional 96 rubies totaling .32 carats compromise the Caran d'Ache monogram on the crown of each cap. Each gem is hand set by master jeweler Robert Perron of Geneva, requiring over six months of completion.
La Modernista Diamonds holds the world record for "The most expensive pen" since June 2000. The record is featured in the "Guinness Book of Records 2001".
