The limited "Shape of a Heart" model of the popular "#3776 Century" fountain pen, known for its ink-preserving slip-seal mechanism, is releasing its 3rd edition, "Chai Latte," following the 2nd edition "Ivoire" in 2023. This edition draws inspiration from heart-shaped remnants created during pen nib production, incorporating these heart pieces with zirconia into the crown dome. Traditionally, heart pieces are melted down for reuse as gold material, but "The Shape of A Heart" uniquely integrates them into the fountain pen design.
In this edition, three heart pieces symbolizing "You," "Me," and "Happiness" are placed within the crown dome, and the pen nib, clip, and metal trim feature pink gold plating. The body's matte-blasted bi-colored design in pale tones and white enhances the prominence of the nib, clip, and crown dome. Each piece, approximately 1.3 mm in size, is enclosed in the dome with the crystals carefully by hand.
