Ruby Rollerball

Laban Gloria Ruby Red Rollerball

$240

Rollerball pens glide across paper in a smooth, sensual manner that enhances penmanship and makes signatures a form of artwork. This example takes it a step further by securing the ink source in a glittering, ruby-red lacquered, diamond-shaped, 18th century-style guilloche engraved housing that feels as good as it looks. The gold-plated clip, cap, and trim complete the elegant design.
