Delta 96 Limited Edition Fountain Pen: The Mother-of-Pearl Resin

The body is made of handcrafted Italian mother-of-pearl resin. The turning process generates unique iridescent patterns: each piece features different nuances from the other 95 pieces. The three colorways amplify the mother-of-pearl effect differently depending on the light — a structural characteristic of the material, not a surface finish.

Steel or 14kt Gold Nib

The Delta 96 is a limited edition fountain pen: 96 numbered pieces with a certificate of authenticity, in three colorways of 32 pieces each — Rosso Amarillo, Blu Fiordaliso, and Nero Tulipano. Integrated piston filling, 14kt gold or steel nib in 7 tip sizes.

Integrated Piston Filling System

The piston is integrated into the body: direct filling from an inkwell, without external converters. The capacity exceeds that of standard cartridges, reducing the frequency of refills. The system also optimizes weight distribution, unlike removable converters.
