Aurora Optima Black Auroloide Fountain Pen with Gold Trim, 14k Gold Nib
The Aurora Optima Black with Gold Trim is the most classic colorway in the Optima lineup — a deep black Auroloide body with warm gold hardware that's been a benchmark of Italian pen design for decades. The 14k gold nib and piston filling system make it as functional as it is iconic, and the black Auroloide has a depth and warmth that distinguishes it from ordinary black resin.
