THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE PEN

Many still regard the fountain pen as the premiere ink writing and drawing instrument. While ballpoint pens and rollerball pens are more often found in offices and schools, the historically older fountain pen has retained a market for certain uses and with exclusive individuals.
On Thursday February 8 2007, Montblanc, a fountain pen and luxury goods manufacturer, and Van Cleef & Arpels, a jewelry house, unveiled a limited edition writing instrument known as the Mystery Masterpiece. This masterpiece of ink dispensing will only set you back $730,000, making the creation the world’s most expensive pen ever produced.


The unique work took over a year and a half to create by skilled artisans and if you hurry you can have your choice of three variations, set with 20 carats of sapphires, emeralds, or rubies, and accented by almost 840 diamonds. The three versions of the expensive pens are limited to three releases each for a total of nine of the most expensive writing instruments to be sold.
