ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS

To highlight the visual appeal of the material, the BENU Briolette has its entire body covered with long facets. Each cut gives the pens specific shapes that prevent them from rolling and enables the true color and brilliance of the material to emerge.

The Luminous Orchid pen glows beautifully in a dark and semi-dark after an hour exposure to light. A sustained blue glow lasts for up to 12 hours, fading over time. The fluorescent luminous paints used in the pen are completely free from radioactivity and any potential hazards.

The resin body features a light lavender purple and black base with tons of silver sparkles throughout. It has a silver colored Schmidt stainless steel nib, a black resin grip and accents, is clipless, and does not post. This fountain pen comes with a standard international converter and one long blue ink cartridge.

We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests

My first Benu pen. Magnificent design and colours, even more beautiful than I thought and, for me, the best writing experience ever! Smooth and wet. Wonderful!

Pretty, but not worth the price

This pen feels like a fancy plastic pen. While it's really pretty it's definitely not worth the price. It's the only pen I truly regret buying.

Splendid pen, I love how it looks and how it feels. Unscrewing the cap is fantastic and smooth. Writing with it is pure joy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck.Ā 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors.Ā Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use ourĀ Goulet Pen FlushĀ if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when youā€™re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
