Solid Jade Cap: The pen’s cap is crafted from solid jade, a stone deeply revered in Chinese history for symbolizing purity, strength, and nobility. This unique jade cap brings a sense of elegance and luxury to the pen, reflecting the refinement of the Qing Dynasty.
Golden Dragon with Yellow Diamonds: Adorning the cap is a golden dragon, a powerful emblem of wisdom and imperial authority in Chinese culture. The dragon is exquisitely detailed and encrusted with fancy yellow diamonds, adding a shimmering brilliance to the design. The dragon holds a white pearl in its mouth, symbolizing purity and divine knowledge, a significant motif in Chinese mythology and art.
Barrel and Nib: The pen's barrel is made of precious lacquer, perfectly complementing the jade cap and golden dragon. It features an 18k gold nib, intricately engraved with Chinese-inspired designs. This medium nib provides a smooth, precise, and luxurious writing experience for any enthusiast.
