Fountain Pen Architect AR-F-02

Award winning British goldsmith, Jack Row, designs and creates elegant writing instruments and accessories. Working exclusively in Gold, Silver and Platinum, and utilising precious gemstones including diamonds and sapphires, the virtuoso designer skilfully unites traditional goldsmithing skills with the latest technology to craft beautiful artefacts that are as much objets d’art, as they are fine jewellery and writing instruments.

Intended exclusively for the most discerning of clientele, Jack currently presents a collection of fountain pens and complimentary cufflinks. These are inspired by the iconic architecture that graces the modern world and pays homage to man's engineering and architectural achievements.

ARCHITECT is an exclusive collection of limited edition writing instruments and cufflinks intended for lovers of art and design. The magnificent precision of Architect is a celebrated expression of the designers’ skills and philosophy. These truly exceptional pieces are constructed expertly from precious metals and gemstones, crafted by the designer himself with contributions from other British craftsmen.

The ARCHITECT collection draws inspiration from the iconic architecture that graces the modern skyline and pays homage to man's engineering and architectural achievements. This piece is directly inspired by London’s 30 St May’s Axe, more commonly known as the Gherkin, located in the heart of the financial district.

The iconic profile is one of the many carefully engineered features which make the piece so unique in design, yet ergonomic in use. A striking solid sterling silver or 18ct gold filigree offers a fascinating aspect of negative space, viewed though its fine, mesh-like structure.

Encased by the outer filigree, the inner barrel is skilfully turned from solid sterling silver bullion, adding a reassuring weight and balance to the piece, confirming its value and luxurious nature. A British hallmark is laser engraved onto the inner barrel and legally guarantees the purity of the precious metal from which it is made, as well as bearing Jack Row’s unique maker’s mark. The inner barrel is protected and enhanced by either a layer of 22ct hard gold and/or rhodium plate. When opened, the bold, textural quality of the thread adds a striking aesthetic feature and enables a delightful tactile experience when capping and uncapping the writing instrument.

Handpicked black diamonds, sapphires or white diamonds are individually set by hand into the ends of the cap and barrel, adding further value and magnificence.

Excellent writing comfort is provided by the fountain pen’s 18ct gold nib which is tipped with iridium to provide a fine and durable writing point. The designer’s initials are engraved onto the top of each nib by cutting edge laser etching technology.

Production of the Jack Row ‘Architect’ Sterling Silver and Black Diamond fountain pen is limited to ‘888’ pieces, and the 18ct variations just 88, further enhancing its exclusivity and investible, collectable nature. Only visible when uncapped, the limited edition number is engraved discreetly on the section, between the nib and thread.
