Ballpoint pen made of 925 silver – Nielloa Prestige

This 925 sterling silver ballpoint pen is no ordinary writing instrument. Floral niello engravings in deep black cover the entire body — lotus blossoms, tendrils, and ornaments inspired by Russian silversmithing tradition. The pen is crowned with a blue amethyst cabochon on the cap. A piece that you pick up and immediately understand: no expense was spared here.

925 Silver — the material speaks for itself

The entire body of this ballpoint pen is made of 925 sterling silver — 92.5% pure silver, alloyed for optimal malleability and durability. The silver carries its natural luster directly to the surface: no plating, no coating that could peel off. At approximately 117.5 g, the pen feels heavy and solid in hand.

Niello Engraving — Black Art on Silver

Niello is a centuries-old technique of Russian silversmithing: a black inlay compound (made of sulfur, silver, and copper) is melted into the engraved surface of the silver. The result is a deep, permanent black that contrasts sharply with the gleaming silver.

The floral motifs — lotus blossoms, tendril patterns, ornamental bands — are typical of the niello tradition from Veliky Ustyug, one of the most important Russian silversmithing cities. This pen carries on that legacy.

Amethyst — a subtle accent

A round amethyst cabochon with a diameter of 7 mm sits on the cap. The deep blue-violet of the stone provides a colorful contrast to the silver and black of the body — subtle, yet effective. Amethyst has been considered a stone of clarity and prudence since antiquity — a fitting companion for a writing instrument.

Engraving and Personalization

Additional personalization is possible on request — initials, a company logo, or a short silver verse. This makes the pen the perfect individual gift for anniversaries, retirements, or special occasions where an ordinary gift just won't do.

The pen comes in an elegant gift box with a silk lining.
