Year of the Snake – The Serpent Pen
The 29th January 2025 marks the beginning of the Year of the Snake. To celebrate the occasion, we introduce you to The Serpent.
The Serpent comes in highly polished yellow acrylic with dark serpent-scale engraving to the cap and barrel and complemented by sterling silver fittings. The cap is adorned with an ornate sterling silver plated snake, wrapped around the cap (friction fitted).
The cap band features three amuletic symbols from China: Fu (福 – representing luckiness), Shou (寿 – representing longevity) and Lu (禄 – representing prosperity or wealth). Each symbol is expressed in two artistic styles and deep engraved around the cap band.
