Description from the seller

D. O. Celestial (Limited Edition 32 of 88) - Fountain Pen
Celestial Collection – Limited Edition by David Oscarson
The Celestial Collection is the eighth release in the prestigious limited-edition D.O. writing instruments series and embodies the perfect fusion of art, precision, and tradition. Available in five color combinations, each model is limited to only 88 pieces worldwide, making it a true collectible masterpiece.

Inspired by the majesty of the firmament, the collection blends the centuries-old technique of guilloché with the meticulous art of translucent hard enamel, giving life to a design that evokes the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars. Each instrument is handcrafted in 18-carat gold and .925 sterling silver, engraved with multiple layers of guilloché and coated with vibrant enamel tones that contrast with the deep night blue of the body.

The Celestial cap features a three-dimensional face of the sun and sun rays in high relief, sculpted with precision to capture the energy and brightness of the sun king. In the body, the four phases of the moon and stars at different depths reflect the splendor of the night sky, a symbol of the eternal cosmic dance.

The artisanal process of hard enamel — ground, applied, and fired at temperatures above 538°C — requires exceptional skill and patience. Each layer is hand-polished and burnished, revealing a surface with a velvety shine that only true masters of the craft can achieve.

Equipped with an 18-karat gold nib, designed in Heidelberg, Germany, and compatible with cartridge, converter, or eyedropper, the Celestial Pen offers a writing experience as precise as it is sublime.
