Platinum Curidas Fountain Pen - Iolite (Limited Edition)
All the convenience of a click rollerball but with the smooth writing experience of a fountain pen: introducing the Platinum Curidas retractable fountain pen!
Platinum Curidas “Stone,” is a special edition collection celebrating the 60th anniversary of Platinum’s very first retractable fountain pen, originally launched in 1965.
Reimagined with modern innovation and inspired by the mystical allure of gemstones, the Curidas “Stone” series offers a dazzling pearlized finish that shifts color depending on the angle and lighting, creating a captivating, multi-dimensional effect. This pen is a beautiful purple color.
Curidas is a coined term created by combining the Japanese word Kuridasu referring to extending the pen tip and the word Curiosity. This new fountain pen was brought to life to fulfill people’s curiosity.
It accepts proprietary Platinum ink cartridges (one blue-black cartridge is included) or a Platinum converter (also included) to fill with bottled ink. A special clip removal tool is also included if you prefer to remove the silver clip.
