Pen holder 925 silver — smooth, 8.5 cm, engravable

A cylinder made of 925 sterling silver, 8.5 centimeters high, weighing 140 grams, framed by a profiled base and a circumferential rim. In between: nothing. No motif, no factory engraving, no decoration — just a smoothly polished surface that captures the light of the room.

Why the smooth surface is special

With a piece devoid of decor, there is nothing behind which imprecise craftsmanship could hide. Every dent, every irregularity in the curvature would be immediately visible in the reflection. This is precisely why smooth silver pieces are more demanding to manufacture than decorated ones — and why they appear more tranquil.

The base and rim are profiled, meaning they are worked with a fine stepped profile. These two lines frame the cylinder and provide stability without ornamenting it.

Material and workmanship

925 sterling silver, high-polished, hallmarked. A dead weight of 140 grams ensures that the holder stands securely even when fully filled. Crafted at Zaramella Argenti in Italy, since 1948.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The smooth cylinder is one of the largest continuous engraving surfaces in the assortment — here, a name, a date, and a short dedication fit side-by-side. We perform engravings after verification.

Upon request, we will enclose a personal SilberVerse card in photo format — individually designed, suited to the occasion, and free of charge; it can also be ordered without an engraving.

What occasion is the pen holder suitable for?

For the start of a career and for a promotion, where it stands as the first own piece on the desk. As a gift for starting school, one that takes the child's desk seriously from the very beginning — it carries no children's motif and therefore does not look out of place even twenty years later. And as a corporate gift with an engraved dedication.

Frequently asked questions

How many pens fit inside?

With a height of 8.5 cm and the diameter shown, a handful of writing instruments fit comfortably. It also works well as a single holder for a fine fountain pen.

Is it stable?

Yes. With 140 grams and the wide, profiled base, it will not tip over even if the pens lean to one side.

Is it suitable for an engraving?

Especially well — the consistently smooth cylindrical surface offers plenty of space.

Does the silver tarnish?

Over time, yes; this is more noticeable on a smooth surface than on a decorated one. A soft silver polishing cloth is sufficient.
