most expensive pen guiness record #177

I believe we were just talking about what is a good selling price.
The answer "what ever the customer has to have"


'La Modernista Diamonds' a pen made by Swiss company Caran d'Ache, went to sale in Harrods, London, England, for $265,000 in 1999. Created in memory of architect Antonio Gaudi, the rhodium-coated solid silver pen has an 18-karat gold pen point and is pave-set with 5,072 diamonds and 96 half-cut rubies.

HMMM....Did the architect Antonio Gaudi design his buildings or structures to be build out of Diamonds and Rubies?

Wow, that's one Gaudi pen!

(c'mon, you were all thinking it!)

Thanks for sharing Pete!

I wonder if they used the diamonds to cover up a lousy finishing technique? I guess we all could do the same but I think a good finish is more important. That's my story and I am sticking to it! []
