Product Description

The Xezo Paua Abalone fountain pen features a smooth-writing, fine-point, gold-plated stainless-steel nib and a screw-on cap. These pens have a durable, solid brass construction overlaid with panels of Paua seashell of the highest grade. The brass fittings are plated in shiny chrome.

These pens continue the tradition of the classic Xezo Maestro® series, and were created to showcase the natural iridescent artistry of Paua seashell. These panels of colorful nacre were hand-inlaid onto the solid brass barrel, polished, then sealed in multiple layers of hand-polished clear lacquer for added shine and protection.

Each of these handcrafted writing instruments is limited edition and individually serialized.
Please note that since we use real Paua seashell, no two panels are alike. This natural material can range in base color from black to blue green; colorful overtones range in a spectrum of hues from pink, red, green, purple, blue, and everything in between. The pen barrel is round and smooth.

  • Important Product Information

    • Avoid storing your fountain pen upside down (with the nib pointing down). You could damage your nib and cause ink to pool or leak in the cap. It is best to store your fountain pen with the nib pointing up or horizontally.
    • Note: It may take up to 5 minutes for ink to fully flow through to the nib from an ink cartridge. If the nib still isn't working after this time, gently squeeze the ink cartridge to encourage ink flow. If the seal on the cartridge will not puncture, you may need to use a new one.
    • Fountain pen nibs require periodic cleaning to ensure smooth flow of ink and prevent clogging. Inks with additives (lubricants, humectants, or micro-particles / shimmer) are NOT recommended for inexperienced fountain pen users. These additives leave residue that must be flushed from the nib / feeder frequently.
    • Our fine size nibs have a tolerance range due to the milling process. Therefore, upon customer request, we can select the equivalent of an extra fine nib (line width of ~0.3mm) from our fine nib stock, although the nib will be marked as “F” and not “EF”.

Xezo Maestro® Series — A Tradition of Exceptional Craftsmanship Since 2003

First introduced in 2003, the Xezo Maestro® Series has evolved into a distinguished collection of limited-edition, individually serialized luxury writing instruments, celebrating the harmony of natural beauty, timeless design, and meticulous craftsmanship. A hallmark of the collection is its use of carefully selected AAA-grade oceanic white and Tahitian black mother-of-pearl, alongside exceptionally prized deep-blue Pāua abalone from New Zealand, valued for its remarkable iridescence and increasingly challenged by changing ocean conditions. Each natural shell is unique, ensuring that no two shell-adorned Maestro pens are exactly alike.

Xezo employs two distinctive approaches to showcasing natural oceanic nacre. Select classic Maestro models feature genuine Pāua abalone and classic black mother-of-pearl inlays, protected beneath layers of clear resin or lacquer and meticulously polished to enhance their brilliance and durability. In contrast, the Maestro® Vintage, Jubilee, Oceanic White Mother of Pearl, and Tahitian Black Mother of Pearl collections feature individually shaped, fitted, and hand-polished shell segments without clear protective resin or lacquer coatings. Achieving such a finish is a considerably more time-intensive process, demanding exceptional precision and individual attention to every piece of nacre. The result preserves the authentic, silky-smooth surface of natural oceanic shell, allowing the owner to experience its remarkable texture directly beneath their fingertips, refined by the skilled hands of our craftsmen.

The Maestro® collection also includes sterling silver designs and finely lacquered models accented with genuine labradorite and amethyst gemstones, complemented by elegant precious-metal-plated fittings. Available as fountain pens, rollerballs, and ballpoints, these distinctive writing instruments combine natural artistry with a refined writing experience, creating enduring expressions of individual taste and craftsmanship.
