This writing instrument is decked up with rhodium-coated solid silver mechanism with an 18-carat gold nib that is coated with rhodium. Retailed at £229,995, the pen is equipped with 5072 full-cut Top Wesselton VS diamonds counting 20 carats and 96 half-cut rubies (0.32 carats) fitted elegantly on the top of the cap.
