AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

【CYPRESS – Eggshell Stories-Cat】

Crafted with laser diffraction technology, the barrel features precisely engineered microstructures embossed onto a metal surface. As light passes across these finely ordered patterns, it naturally separates into rich, flowing colors. Rather than relying on surface coatings, the vibrant hues are created by the optical reflective structure itself. As the pen is turned, light, shadow, tonal gradations, and iridescent colors move naturally across the textured surface, showcasing the unique beauty born from the fusion of advanced engineering and optical design.

Each pen begins with carefully selected duck eggshells chosen for their clean white tone. Every fragment is hand-cracked, individually placed, then repeatedly lacquered, leveled, and polished until the surface becomes perfectly smooth. Behind the effortless appearance lies an intricate handcrafted process, where traditional lacquer techniques and natural materials come together to create a finish that is both refined and one of a kind.
