30th Anniversary His/Hers Set

[MattTheHat]

A customer asked me to create a his/hers set for a 30th Anniversary present for her friends. The traditional gift for a 30th Anniversary is pearl. This was my first suggestion...crushed pearl acrylic. I don't even remember when I got this material, but it's a pain to work with as it likes to melt whilst drilling. But the darker color material polishes to a simply stunning finish. The white isn't bad either. Venus and Statesman Jr. Rollerball kits in Rhodium plating, from CSUSA. I like the result. My customer seemed very pleased.

Beautiful pens !!!!!

The white blank matches, by its look and your description, a material called Invisavue. I am wanting to buy some but it's no longer available I was told. Can you help, please?

Yep, Invisavue, that is indeed what it was called. I'm afraid I can't be if much help. I don't believe I have any left except a pice or two of blue and a piece or two of red. I do also have a piece in the coral color, but I have a project for that. I'll double check tomorrow to see if I have any extra.

It's not crushed pearl, I called it that in error. It's definitely Invisavue. Sorry for the confusion.
