This is a beautiful ballpoint pen that is handcrafted with Paua Abalone, and Chrome/Black Chrome accents that bring out its beauty. Each piece has been cut and fit like a puzzle. It is sealed in a resin then cured for 24 hrs.  It is hand turned and polished to bring out the beauty of the Abalone. The pen has a German Schmidt refill that leaves smooth lines and it does not skip. All my pens come with a leather or velvet pouch to protect them.
