If there is any God in Hindu mythology closely rivaling Che Guevera in embellishing the fashion arena, it is Lord Shiva. Whatever the reasons may be, Lord Shiva is a fashion icon and it’s a pure divine delight to see Him transform into a beautiful writing instrument by Caran d’Ache.
Produced entirely by hand in 800 solid silver with a distinctive somber finish, these sumptuous pieces evoke all the mystery and symbolism of the most important figure in the Shivaiite tradition. The Limited Editions in the Artiste Collection are truly exceptional pieces and of course, in the great tradition of Swiss manufacturing, Caran d’Ache carefully preserves the secrets and expertise of creating this homage to the Divine.
For this homage to the Divine, Caran d’Ache has limited the edition to 108 fountain pens ($15,402), 108 being a key number in Indian tradition, and to 55 roller pens ($14,060 US), 5 being the Hindu principle of life.
