Design Inspired by Romance and Theatrical Elegance

In the legend, Pierrot, the noble-hearted clown, longs for the love of the radiant Pierrette. When united, they sit together on the crescent moon; when distant, Pierrot strums his mandolin alone in melancholy. This collection expresses the emotion and depth of their story with symbolism, color, and form in every detail.

Exceptional Craftsmanship: Guilloché, Hard Enamel & Precious Metals

• Three Levels of Guilloché Engraving: Each pen body is hand-cut with three intricate engraving patterns, including a sunburst motif, overlapping circles, and a canvas texture (exclusive to Pierrette).
• Five Colors of Hard Enamel: Using a centuries-old process, translucent, opalescent, and opaque enamels are hand-applied and kiln-fired multiple times at over 1,000°F, creating a luminous glass-like finish.
