About Us
Hand Turned and Assembled
- Thank you for your interest in my handy work. I once owned one of the largest jewelry manufacturing plants in the country. All military and federal medals are considered jewelry. We hand made the Purple Heart and Medal of Honor for instance. At one point, we made over one million parts per month. I sold that business a while back. But still have the personal need to make things. So I have taken that knowledge and periodically make some high end pens. Just like with all the medals, I purchase certain parts and components (finished and unfinished), hand turn, hand assemble, and hand finish the final product. I hope you like one or two.
- Plating Choices – why I like high end finishes like Rhodium: Rhodium is a rare, silver-white hard metal in the platinum family on the periodic table. It’s highly reflective and holds the distinction of being one of the most expensive precious metals in the world. As an inert or noble metal — meaning it’s resistant to corrosion and oxidation in moist air — rhodium also increases the durability of any jewelry it plates. One of the biggest upsides to rhodium plating is it’s nickel free, making it hypoallergenic. Most white jewelry consists of yellow gold mixed with a small amount of nickel to give it the “white gold” color. Nickel allergy is increasing across the population, so it makes sense to choose your metals wisely.
- Material Choices: I like making the pen bodies with specialized material. You will see examples of marble composite, Bamboo – I make the bamboo pen blanks myself out of natural materials, specialty woods – rare and exotic, specialty acrylics and much more. All are hand turned to perfectly match the pen style.
