Faber-Castell Classic Anello Collection $295 - $775

At first glance, the precious writing implements from Faber-Castell’s Anello Classic Collection seduce one into taking them into one’s hand.

Fountain pens, rollerball pens, ballpoint pens, and mechanical pencils have ebony barrels into which filigree rings have been incorporated. They dominate the purist look of the writing implements and lend the collection its name – "Anello" (Italian for "ring").

What forms a refined contrast visually proves to be a perfect tactile combination: the transitions between the ebony segments and the delicate precious metal rings are barely perceptible.

Lying optimally in the hand, the writing instruments have pleasantly even surfaces which give the impression the barrels are made out of one single piece.
