Traviata Ballpoint Pen - exclusive silver - Emozioni in Musica series

Italian company Montegrappa has been providing you with comfort and satisfaction from such an original and luxurious product as the limited edition collections of Montegrappa since 1912.

This time, we would like to introduce the collection - La Traviata – Giuseppe Verdi's opera from 1853, based on A. Dumas' The Lady of the Camellias. It brought fame to its creator during its debut at the Fenice Opera House in Venice on 06.03.1853 and inspired Montegrappa to create another writing instrument in its limited collection "Emozioni in Musica". The incredible character of Violetta – the opera's heroine – has been precisely depicted on the pen's body. Her face is made of (depending on the version) solid silver (925) or gold (18K). The cap's top is decorated with a camellia flower, which Violetta always wore in her state (part of her dress) to highlight her beautiful face.

The delicately contoured cap is decorated with a red celluloid ring, which in a more luxurious version is made with a diadem adorned with 12 diamonds. The clip features a typical 18th-century ornament – from the period when the opera takes place. The clip of the gold version of the pen, decorated with precious stones, is embellished with pavé diamonds and two diamonds on the sides. The camellia decorations on the body were created using a technique called low-relief engraving (from the English bas-relief). In the center of the body, between the decorations, is depicted the extraordinary face of Violetta. During the creation of this decoration in the Silver version, a hand engraving method was used. An ancient technique mastered by only a few artists worldwide. Exceptional skill is required to apply it flawlessly.

Montegrappa chose solid silver (925) for the production of this pen. The rest of the pen is made of red-colored celluloid, which has always been associated with passion.

The 18K gold nib – made of white gold with decorations of yellow gold in the Silver version, and yellow gold with white gold decorations in more luxurious versions – decorated with the initials "V.V." representing Violetta Valery. Each writing instrument in this series comes with an elegant box referencing the curtains of 18th-century operas. The entire series is crafted with meticulous attention to detail by world-class artisans.

This rare, precious item reflects the character of its owner and ensures the pleasure of writing and discovering exceptional emotions. Highly recommended!
