AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Aurora 88 in blue resin with a 14-karat gold nib belongs to one of the most iconic lines of the historic Turin-based house Aurora. This “old collection” version preserves all the charm of the classic Italian fountain pen: sober elegance, precious materials, and a writing experience that is soft and precise.
Made in glossy blue resin, the pen features harmonious, balanced lines, with golden details that enhance the design without appearing excessive. The tapered body and screw-cap recall the refined aesthetic of Auroras produced in the 1980s and 1990s, today highly appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of traditional writing.
The 14K gold nib guarantees a fluid and flexible stroke, capable of delivering a warm and controlled writing sensation. Depending on the nib grade, the Aurora 88 can adapt to daily writing as well as to a more elegant and calligraphic use. The filling system, typically piston in the classic 88 versions, ensures reliability and good ink capacity.
This fountain pen represents a perfect balance between Italian craftsmanship, user comfort, and collecting value. Ideal for those seeking a characterful writing instrument that conveys tradition, prestige, and genuine pleasure in hand-written writing.
