This is the 'Zoe' kit from Richard DeArment and R&B Crafts

The kit is made by Dayacom and called the Diana, the plating is rhodium.

Many may be aware that I despise factory bushings and I had TBC bushings made by Brian Nikitas. Yes the bushings are USED in the photo. I also included factory bushings (left) and TBC bushings (right) for compare.

The end cap is similar to the venus. It features swarovski stones on the clip and the cap.

Few notes on the kit:
*) The lower tube is *LONGER* than the upper tube.
*) The drill size needed for blanks is 8mm or 5/16"
*) Uses a Parker refill.
*) The blank was provided by Toni Ransfield and in Polymer Clay.

I am always looking for a simple, smaller diameter pen (kit) that is "Parker" refilled, and this is it. This has been an underutilized niche, and I also appreciate being made aware. My order was placed moments after viewing this thread. Thanks Ed. (Also, a kit cannot get a better introduction than with a TR PC!)

I purchased that pen in chrome in gold from somewhere in Canada. Nice enough kit, but the factory bushings are abysmally loose. I'd much prefer the Rhodium plating, looks very nice!
