Waterford has conceived a winning combination of rich tortoise resin with warm gilded accents to dress up its popular Pallas series. The tortoise finish is truly exceptional in handsome earth tones of amber and rust with black marbling. Beautifully balanced when in the hand, the Pallas instruments are a great choice for comfortable writing and superb value. The Waterford heritage is brought forth with the deep-cut “star” pattern in the crown, the crystal-cut in the clip and the grooved lines in the grip section of the ball pen. The Pallas Tortoise series includes a twist-action ball pen which is convertible to a cap less roller ball, a capped roller ball and a fountain pen with a bi-color, gold-plated steel nib engraved with the Waterford “seahorse” logo. Each one makes a wonderful gift choice that will become a cherished heirloom for the recipient. Fountain pen uses cartridges or converter.
