While most of my pens are "masculine" designs, I like to stretch my design ideas into the feminine side occasionally....and they DO sell well. My wife was the one who got me into this hobby originally cuz she loves pens and couldn't find any that appealed to her sense of style. This Princess style pen does the bling thing. I have to admit it is too "over the top" to be called elegant. It sort of whispers in a real loud voice. That's me once again running a bit out of control...but I do like it. Thanks for your looking and for your kind words of support. Keep em' turning.
