• Material: Solid Sterling Silver 925. Bears the Italian hallmarks (oval "925" and factory mark with a star) clearly visible on both the barrel and the cap.
• Finish: Glossy with guilloché work (vertical ridges) and iconic double central rings in black lacquer.
• Vintage personalization: On the cap is the subtle vintage engraving "MONTEDIPE" (historic Montedison group company from the 1980s), a detail of great charm for enthusiasts of economic and industrial history.
