Priced at Rs 1.95 lakh.
Noblia’s latest series, conceptualised in Hong Kong, also pays tribute to Lord Ganesha.

Sheaffer Centennial 9213 Sterling Silver Limited Edition Fountain Pen tells the story of the first Sheaffer factory in Fort Madison, with images of the founding family, Walter and Craig Sheaffer.

Eisele, and Walter Cunningham. Priced at Rs 44,500.
Visconti has created a pen inspired by the culture of West Asia in which agarwood is a much-loved fragrance used in every household. There are only 388 of these limited-edition pens made in sterling silver and 38 pens in 18K pink gold. Priced at Rs 3.65 lakh.
The Swiss CaranD’Ache limited edition Balaji foundation pen has only 108 pieces out there, a reference to the 108 different names to Lord Balaji. It’s rhodium-coated with an 18K gold medium nib and the body of the pen is finished in matte black lacquer. Priced at Rs 7.5 lakh.
