The workshop

For more than thirty years we have been working silver in our workshop in Piedmont, pairing it with refined materials such as fossil wood or salmon leather. Our guilloché decorations have their roots in Fabergé’s goldsmith art.

Our method

We check every pen from the working of the material to the packing, and we quickly replace parts worn by use. Every silver pen is hallmarked 925 and *675 TO.

The Grifos story

Rare materials

Soapstone carved with Rino Collé, bog oak, stingray and salmon leathers, Italian resins: we look for materials that make every pen different from the others.

Where every Grifos pen is born

Black fountain pen with the name William Shakespeare engraved on the barrel

The name, engraved on the pen

A name, a date or a short dedication on the clip, up to 20 characters, for €15. Where the pen has them, the cap ring and the engraving window may also be engraved, at the same price. We engrave the text before closing the pen in its Grifos box.

A very handsome pen. It writes very well. It weighs 40 g, which gives it a pleasant feeling of substance.
