A bit about the La Grande Bellezza line:
“La Grande Bellezza” means “the great beauty” and this pen certainly is beautiful. “La Grande Bellezza” is made of resin, but it doesn’t feel like other resin pens. Pineider mixed in marble dust to create the gemstone-like colors. This also makes the resin harder and weightier so that it almost feels like celluloid. The resulting finish is extraordinary with swirls of color and chatoyance.
Spring loaded clip.
The textured cap ring has “Pineider” on one side and “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” in tiny lettering on the other. The age-old sentence that contains every letter of the alphabet.
Magnetic cap (doesn’t screw or friction fit on) clicks into place either closed or posted on the barrel for writing.
The nib is 14k gold, palladium-plated with flex. The design is gorgeous with wing cut outs and beautiful scroll work. Pineider calls it a “quill nib.”
The nib is bouncy when you write using normal pressure. When you press into it, the soft gold and wing cut outs give you some very nice flex.
It is 5.5 inches/139.8mm capped, 5 inches/126.5mm uncapped, and 6.5 inches/165.1mm posted. It weighs 23 grams uncapped and is nicely balanced.
