History & Origin

    Originally a jeweler, David Oscarson began producing luxury fountain pens in the year 2000 and has been keeping up a steady production ever since with his pens becoming almost legendary in the fountain pen world. He has a keen eye for detail and his jewelers background means he knows how to add that extra bit of beauty through the use of guilloche and hot enamel work which really adds depth to the surfaces of the writing instrument. The research and effort he puts into every new design is very thoughtful and makes the pen feel that much more special with all these hidden little meanings and cool details, you'll be discovering new things about the design day by day. Let's take a closer look at these beautiful pieces that we just got into the store and what you can expect from this level of mastery and eye for detail. 

    A luxury pen has to have luxury packaging and this is no exception, each Oscarson pen arrives to you in a black cardboard box that reveals a lacquered burl wood box bearing the name of the man himself on the outside. Inside the box you will see your new pen protected in a soft single pen sleeve surrounded by a black plush fabric but more is hiding under the tray that the pen sits on. Below you will find 2 packs of short standard international cartridges in black and blue, an eyedropper, and a converter which is essentially everything you need to start writing aside from an actual ink bottle if you are going to utilize the last two options. But that's enough of the box, let's take a look at the actual star of the show, the pen. Each one of these pens takes an unbelievable amount of skill with the craftsman having to go through a 7 year long internship period before they can even begin work on these art pieces.

    The guilloche patterns are cut by a diamond and even this process has to be monitored and moved by hand to give the depth and difference of height in the engravings whether they are surface or going to be under the hard enamel. The actual enamel being used on these pens is called hot enamel which is crushed glass that is mixed with metal oxides to give color but this is a tricky process. This is because each oxide has a different melting point and they need to be melted in the correct succession to avoid the oxides burning and turning off color, there is also about a 20% failure rate on each enamel layer, there are 6 layers on most of the pens he makes, that's insane. 

    The two pens that we have in the store currently are both considered some of his most popular design, especially the celestial, the celestial has a clip similar to the ray of a sun, the water dragon has a roll stop instead of a clip, the dragon has a pearl in its mouth and rubies for its eyes.
