Now I love pens, but I must admit I’m not a pen connoisseur or elitist. I can get just as much of an adrenaline rush from a $10 pen as one that costs $100 (not to mention I don’t have to worry about guarding it with my life). Might this be because of my budget? Yeah, but I just love pens and price doesn’t automatically include or exclude a writing instrument from my collection.
But let’s not be foolish, there are pens and then there are pens. Hence, the Aurora Diamente. Priced at a mind-boggling $1.3 million dollars. This Aurora original features more than 30 carats of De Beers diamonds, an 18 kt solid gold nib, features a one-of-a-kind portrait, coat of arms, and signature, and is available in white gold and solid platinum.
If you want this puppy you’d better have your $1.3 liquidated and close at hand because according to reports, only one of these beauties will be sold each year. Any takers?
