This pen is built on a Sierra Elegant Beauty frame of Black Titanium and Platinum. Both these platings are among the most premium platings available and they compliment each other well. The Elegant Beauty itself is one of the most elegant, well balanced pens we make and is made of the finest components. It uses an extremely reliable twist cap mechanism and a Parker style ballpoint refill. Parker refills can also be purchased in gel point if preferred. This pen measures approximately 5 1/2 inches long by 7/16 inches in diameter. The barrel of this one is a piece of hand turned Black Acrylic that has been sanded and polished to a high luster. It comes in a gray velour style gift case and ships free by USPS Priority Mail. MC717 money clip in picture not included, but you can order it with this pen to make a great gift.
