Ballpoint Pen/Rollerball Shavout Pearl Gold Limited Collection

The Italian company Urso was founded in 1985 and has since become one of the leading manufacturers of luxury writing instruments worldwide. The collections created by Italian masters can confidently be called writing jewels. Handcrafted and engraved in solid gold and silver, equipped with hard enamel and gemstones, they are luxury in themselves. The pens and fountain pens are crafted by master jewelers, making Urso products both writing instruments and jewelry in design and appearance.

We are pleased to present to you luxury pens from the Szavout collection by Urso. Szavout (Hebrew שׁבועות) – (the symbol is engraved on the pen) – the Jewish Feast of Weeks, also called the Feast of Harvest, Pentecost, or Green Festival, celebrated on the 6th day of the month of Sivan — in the diaspora also on the following day. It commemorates the giving of the Torah to Moses on Mount Sinai and occurs seven weeks after Passover (hence called Pentecost). This holiday is also associated with ancient agricultural customs. During the festival, synagogues are decorated in green. Some Orthodox Jews spend the entire night studying the Torah (Tikkun Leil Szawuot) to prepare for its re-acceptance. Traditional holiday foods include dairy dishes and special loaves made from new grain.

The clip of this extraordinary pen is a replica of a mezuzah. Mezuzah (Hebrew מזוזה — doorpost, doorframe) – in Judaism, a small container made of wood, metal, or glass, containing a rolled parchment with two passages from the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21). The parchment is rolled from the left so that the text can be read immediately when unrolled. Letters are written on the rolled parchment to mark the top and bottom. Often, the word Shaddai (Hebrew: Almighty) is also included. This text also appears in the Shema prayer. Only a qualified scribe (sofer) is authorized to write the text on the parchment — only then is the mezuzah kosher. Some Jewish factions or emigrant Jews treat the mezuzah as a talisman with protective functions, but its purpose is entirely different. The Talmud states that the mezuzah is one of the seven commandments given by God to Israel out of love, and it should be treated accordingly.

The mezuzah is hung on doorframes or entrances of Jewish religious homes at a depth of one hand’s breadth as a literal fulfillment of the commandment given by JHWH. It should be placed at the entrance, slanted, on the right side, at a height of 2/3. It must be affixed permanently, preferably nailed in. The written parchments are checked periodically for damage. In private homes, this is done every seven years; in public places, every fifty years. One can live in a room without a mezuzah for up to 30 days. Its placement is preceded by a blessing.

The limited series consists of 50 pieces, in various colors, and is dedicated to the departure of the Jewish people from Egypt after the Ten Commandments were announced on Mount Sinai.

Luxury office accessories are a wonderful addition to your desk decor, gift for a director, or a perfect luxury gift for high-level business meetings.
