Circles of Light

Circles of Light by AP Limited Editions is a Connoisseur masterpiece, created in an edition of just nine pens. Its surface shimmers with an all-over field of Raden, over which circles of multicolored shell are inlaid with extraordinary precision. Each fragment of Raden and mother-of-pearl is cut, polished, and set to form luminous rings of light, their iridescence heightened by subtle layers of black Urushi and enriched with touches of gold. The inlay itself is the highest expression of refinement, demanding absolute skill and patience. The nib section, finished in gold powder with Kirikane detailing, adds a final note of brilliance, leading to the superb 18K gold nib that crowns the pen. Circles of Light is not merely a writing instrument, but a rare harmony of shell, lacquer, and gold—an object that captures the radiance of light in motion.
