This beauty is built on a Gatsby frame of Black Titanium and Rhodium. Both these platings are among the most premium platings available and they compliment each other well. The Gatsby is an elegant, well balanced pen that that feels like a full sized pen without actually being a big pen. 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 Holly wood with heart and flower decals randomly place about. It was coated with 10 layers of cyanoacrylate (superglue) and polished to a high luster. It comes in a gray velour style gift case and ships free by USPS Priority Mail. A classy gift for your classy lady.
