Earl Silver Ball Point Pen

The personalised silver pen is a classic utility item that can be handed down through generations and is never out of fashion.

Each of our silver pens are hand made in Birmingham and this particular design is decorated using engine turning, a heritage technique of decorating silver that means it will not tarnish as the surface is textured. Engine turning is an art and skill that was developed in Victorian times and there are not many engine turning practitioners left.

This unique personalised pen would make an ideal gift for any life occasion, my own Mammy gave me a lovely silver pen which is part of my collection to this day, of course I use several as you can never have too many pens, or is that just me?

The pen rotates to reveal the ballpoint nib and has a lovely weightiness and fluidity to it that makes it hard to put back down, a wonderful characteristic for anyone who keeps a diary, an aspiring writer or student. The weightiness give the pen the correct 'thud' factor showing off its quality craftsmanship through its feel as well as its appearance.

It is handmade in sterling silver and finished with a ribbed detailing along the length of the pen. It is then assayed at the Birmingham Assay Office for authenticity.

Make it a gift to remember by adding an element of personalisation by adding engraving to this pen for an extra £15, to create a personalised and incredibly meaningful gift that will be cherished for many years.

You can engrave up to seven letters onto this silver pen, around the top, the engraving is done by our extremely skilled hand engraver and craftsman, Matt Smith, who uses traditional techniques with specialist engraving tools to personalise your pen. With many years in the trade he is indeed a rare find and will finish a perfect present for you.
