Silver and Vermeil Fountain Pens: The Nobility of Metal

925 sterling silver is the most commonly used alloy for the bodies of these pens. It is malleable, polishable, and engravable with great precision. Over time, it develops a natural patina that many enthusiasts consider part of its charm.

Gold-plated vermeil is sterling silver coated with a layer of 18 or 24-karat gold. It offers a golden appearance at a lower cost than solid gold. The durable plating ensures years of use without deterioration.

These pens require periodic cleaning with a specific anti-tarnish cloth. Some manufacturers also produce dedicated cases to slow down the silver's oxidation process.
