Year of the Snake – The Nüwa Pen

The 29th January 2025 marks the beginning of the Year of the Snake. To celebrate the occasion, we introduce you to Nüwa.

Nüwa comes in highly polished red acrylic with serpent-scale engraving to the cap and barrel and complemented by sterling silver fittings.

The cap button is engraved with a beautifully detailed Yin-Yang snake motif, symbolizing balance and harmony.

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.

Nüwa is available in a limited-edition of 25.
