Hi All,
This was supposed to be a wedding anniversary gift for my wife, but I was so slow that it became an anniversary + birthday pen.
The ring is a silver dollar dated with the year we got married, while the nib is inscribed with the month and date of our wedding, and has a heart cutout for the breather hole (although one photo shows it with a stock Bock nib). The roll stop contains peridot, which is her birth stone.
It was a fun and challenging creation. Here are the photos (there's not going to be sunshine for a few days here, so I took these indoors except for the first one).
Thanks for looking! Criticism is definitely welcome.
