Nice pen...the girl is a ditz! and to the person that buys that pen, you have to much money or not enough worries!

OMG what will they think of next?

Whoever buys that pen has rocks in their head!

I'm not sure ditz fully covers what she is. I couldn't help but get the feeling that she had a specific list of questions to ask and had to ask each one even if he had already answered it. Typical for reporters, I guess. He clearly began by stating that they only make 8 of those limited editions each year. Then Ms. Mcgintee asked if they were a limited number made. [?]

Now to the pen. If it took me 8 months to make a fountain pen, I'd certainly want a few thousand for it. Even if it didn't have over 4,000 diamonds set on it. But anyone who buys one of these 8 definitely has more $$$ than they need.

I would rather have the hand carved Jade pen by Loiminchay for, IIRC, $250,000.[:0]

Depends on when you bought. People are coming out here to Arizona that made ridiculous amounts of money on their houses. They were buying 2 for one sold there.

For the jewelers out there, anybody know how they set a diamond in the solid surface of a pen body? I assume they don't use the same prong method that is used for keeping stones in rings. Difficult to accept that they use CA so there must be some other method. Thanks.

They "pave' " set the diamonds, which is they raise a small bead from the metal surrounding the stone with a graver, while at the same time, bend the bead over the stone; after that, they round the edges of the new prong with a beading tool. Sounds like a lot, but only takes a minute or two.

That would hurt to drop that pen.

What does it look like? Our filter blocks YouTube. I'd buy a good lathe and a laser engraver.
