The Bijou Fountain Pen Collection
Introduction
If you’re looking for a pen that feels like a jewel in hand, the Bijou Fountain Pen is our simply, yet elegant answer. From its engraved grip to its sleek proportions, Bijou blends artistry, function, and narrative in one cherished instrument.
Let me walk you through what makes Bijou special — and why many writers choose it as their everyday companion.
A Spotlight on Bijou
-
Compact elegance: The Bijou is smaller in size compared to some of our larger pens, making it ideal for portability without compromising on writing presence.
-
Inspired by crown jewels: Each Bijou model draws influence from regal ornamentation — elaborate lacquer finishes, shimmering surfaces, and a sense of refined luxury.
-
Intricately engraved grip: The pen’s grip is adorned with etched brass motifs, bringing texture, grip, and visual depth to the writing experience.
-
Two-tone No. 5 steel nib: The Bijou carries a refined No. 5 nib with a two-tone finish, delivering smooth, consistent strokes.
-
Removable feeder: Its nib and feeder unit can be detached for cleaning or maintenance — a practical touch that also helps you care for your pen over time.
-
Standard international converter included: Out of the box, Bijou ships with a converter, letting you use bottled inks immediately.
Notable Variants
The Bijou line includes limited editions and themed versions that bring storytelling into the design:
-
Moonbeam Meadows: A deep violet lacquer in the Snowfall finish — vivid, mysterious, and expressive.
-
Fabled Feather: A FerriTales edition in Snowfall finish, featuring grip engraving inspired by mythical birds.
-
Blue Revelry (2025 Limited Edition): A special anniversary Bijou with bold cobalt blue Snowfall lacquer and celebratory design cues.
-
Ambrosia Indulgence, Sandcastle Clay, Catnip Café and others: Each variant carries its own narrative and lacquer finish.
These variants let collectors and writers choose a Bijou that resonates with their story or aesthetic preference.
Performance, Feel & Use
-
Balance & feel: The Bijou is light (~22–23 g total) and well balanced for unposted use, making it comfortable for extended writing.
-
Ink flow & nib: The two-tone No. 5 steel nib offers reliable flow and smooth performance on many papers.
-
Maintenance: Because it has a removable feeder and converter, you can clean it more easily when switching inks or after long storage.
-
Care tips: Don’t post the cap when writing — the cap threads are brass and may risk damage to the lacquer. Also, store the pen nib-up to minimize buildup.
