The materials used belong to the fountain pen history: celluloid, cellulose acetate, ebonite or some selected acrylic resins for the body of it and gold, sterling silver, titanium, aluminium or brass for the trim. Some of the raw materials involve long periods of seasoning and expectations.
Clips, bands and any other trim are manufactured and engraved in accordance with the strictest precepts of the Florentine goldsmith tradition.
Semi manufactured pieces, once turned and tested, have then to be accurately polished. This phase represents one of the most important steps in the enhancement of the material brightness and its natural characteristics.

Goldsmiths engravings are equally exacting, since they aim at the uniquely characterising Stipula pens.
We often use precious stones in making our writing instruments and another important production phase is the examination of their quality.
The final stages of production, when the component parts are assembled, are conducted rigorously by hand to give the pen that touch of true craftsmanship that is our hallmark.
The writing section of our pens matches with the requirements of absolute quality, supreme softness and adaptability; Stipula pens feature exclusively gold or titanium nibs.

There is no process in Stipula which does not involve a considerable amount of hand work and each of us is expected to give a manual or verbal contribution from the beginning of the production to its end.
When the writing instrument is assembled and we package the final product, we want to be all proud of it!
