Visconti is delighted to announce the latest addition to their Homo Sapiens demonstrator collection - the Demo Stones. Vibrant transparent resins meet the iconic design of the Homo Sapiens collection; a natural encounter with light, adding transparency, depth and fluidity.

Three demonstrator colors were selected by Visconti, each inspired by the beauty of the most sought-after colored gemstones; Ruby, sapphire and emerald. Each pen is then enriched by a semi-precious stone in the top of the pen cap: green agate, blue agate, and red carnelian stones, to emulate the three inspirational gem colors of the pen bodies.
Each Demo Stone is designed, made and polished in Visconti's Florentine workshop. The barrel and cap are made from turned acrylic resin and carefully hand-polished, both inside and out, with special felt tools, to guarantee an excellent result.

Visconti's ability to make beautiful demonstrator pens is renowned around the world. Crafting the Demo Stones from transparent resin was not purely an aesthetic choice but also a way to reveal the beating heart of the Visconti demonstrator pen, the double reservoir power filling system.
'In-house' 14kt Gold Nib
The new collection introduces a first from Visconti, a new in-house, 14kt gold oversized nib. The new nib has been engraved with a more contemporary design, but in keeping with tradition Visconti continue with a crescent moon shaped breather hole, a distinctive feature of Visconti's precious nibs. Each nib is hand polished and entirely made in-house: The nib, feed and housing; consequently the entire pen is produced in Florence. Each nib is plated in black ruthenium to match the color of the pens trim. Available in EF, F, M, B, and Stub widths.

Double Reservoir: The Crystal Dream has Visconti's patented 'double reservoir' power filler, a vacuum filling system that is easy to use and has considerable benefits. The user is able to fill the pen with the equivalent of 10 cartridges of ink, and thanks to the two reservoirs, prevents ink from leaking during air travel.


Crystal Ring: The final change is the small ring around the pens grip section. Metal has been replaced with crystal acrylic resin, offering a view of stored ink in the pens second smaller ink reservoir.

    Returns

    At The Pleasure of Writing, we hope that you love what you ordered, but if something is amiss with your order, let us know right away. Upon receiving your shipment, be sure to carefully handle and inspect pens for damage or defect.

In certain cases we can work with the distributor or manufacturer to replace the merchandise, in which case all shipping and handling will be covered. In the event that a refund is wanted for defective items, we will refund 100% of the sale to the payment method.

    If the reason for return is based on preference, i.e. you received the item and didn’t like some aspect of it though it is fully functional, we will work with customers on a case-by-case basis to determine the best options. In some cases we may offer either store credit or refunds to payment method less a 15% handling fee (to cover the fees we incur from such returns); either way, we are always happy to work with our clients to help them find exactly the right writing instrument.

    Once the necessity of a return has been determined, we will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number, which you should write clearly on the outer box.

    Returns must be received in their original state, and include all original packaging (warranty papers, cartridges and converters, etc.), and of course if you need to return a product because it is damaged or defective, we will apologize for the inconvenience and make it right.

    Note that all returns are at the discretion of The Pleasure of Writing.

    Note that we are unable to accept returns on any item that came free with another product or was purchased on sale, closeout, or other discounts; additionally, we cannot accept returns on any special-order products that can take many months to prepare, or on pens or nibs that have been modified in any way. Neither can we accept returns on used ink, paper, journals, sealing wax, or other supplies.

    Note that we accept inked or dipped fountain pens for return or refund with the 30-day window, but these will incur a 15% fee as we can no longer sell them as new merchandise.
