Mine just showed up a couple of days ago. I inked it with Anderillium’s Cuttlefish Brown. It gives my writing such a cool, vintage look! Enjoy your new piece!
Beautiful pen. Congratulations. I too ordered on last month. The EF nibs were sold out by the time I ordered so I went for a F nib. You got a good looking pen. I’m hoping mine won’t disappoint. It really can be a hit or miss situation because no 2 blanks that are used to turn the pen are the same. But I’ve seen that with any type of ‘Abalone’ pen, the end result is generally very aesthetically pleasing. I also chose the Rose gold trim
Your new pen is gorgeous! I would be staring at this all day. I was looking at this several times since the pre order came up. I'm very tempted to get it in the same rose gold trim as well. I find it so interesting that your white looks more like mother of pearl. Enjoy it and I can wait to see more of your pen journal over time.
Mine arrived yesterday, it is so beautiful in person! Yours have a lovely mix of black with the cream and gold/peach. It reminds me of ink dripping into a potion or something. I like that even though the momento zero is smaller, the section is very comfortable and not to narrow. Ive got mine inked with Herbin Shogun at the moment, some of the few pens i actually want to use black ink in (for now). I love the idea of the pen journal, I might have to copy that idea.
This is beautiful. I pre-ordered as well and then changed my mind and cancelled the day before release 😢. I’m now re-thinking but in the Ruthenium trim. Is the comparable to a Western? Enjoy your pen. ❤
Just for reference, the leonardo steel nibs are currently made by Jowo (used to be bock), though I believe they tune them themselves. Their gold nibs are in house 'la fenice' nibs.
I love that your grip section is as swirled as the body of the pen. Very pretty! And I love your pen journal in the TN inserts...
Beautiful! We’re pen twins 👯 looking forward to seeing how your journal progresses.
Gorgeous pen!! 😍 I like the ink combo as well, great choice.

Yep. I started to use black as well.
Beautiful pen; I love the Golden Abalone. Your pen journal is going to be lovely. Hope you do a flip when you get all of your entries made.
I love your videos. I am so distracted by your nail color! Would you mind sharing what you used? It’s beautiful!
Thanks !!!! It's Sally Henson Color Therapy with Argon Oil "Tea Time"
Thanks for sharing. I just ran to CVS for the polish. Now I’ll have pretty nails for church. 😄

I love it. I think Italian EF (including this one) are more fine than the Westerns
