David Oscarson Tree of Life Black Fountain pen

Experience a profound union of ancient symbolism and modern artistry with the David Oscarson Tree of Life Collection—the eleventh release in the revered series of Limited Edition Writing Instruments. Produced in five striking color variations, each edition is limited to just 88 pieces worldwide, including both fountain pens and rollerball versions.

A Universal Symbol of Life and Eternity

Spanning cultures, continents, and centuries, the Tree of Life stands as a sacred emblem of immortality, connection, and divine love. From Yggdrasil in Norse mythology to the acacia of ancient Egypt, from Mesoamerican world trees to the biblical tree in Eden, this iconic symbol is recognized across civilizations as the bridge between past, present, and eternal future.

David Oscarson pays tribute to this universal imagery through a collection that is as spiritually meaningful as it is artistically groundbreaking.

Five Vivid Color Variations

Each pen in the Tree of Life Collection features rich combinations of translucent and opaque hard enamel, paired with either gold vermeil or rhodium finishes:

• Opaque Black with Translucent Saffron and Emerald Green Enamel in Gold Vermeil
• Opalescent White with Translucent Saffron and Emerald Green Enamel
• Translucent Sapphire Blue with Translucent Saffron and Emerald Green Enamel in Gold Vermeil
• Translucent Azure Blue with Translucent Saffron and Emerald Green Enamel
• Translucent Red with Translucent Saffron and Emerald Green Enamel in Gold Vermeil

Each color combination reflects the vibrancy and layered meaning of the Tree of Life motif—its roots, branches, and fruit brought to life in luminous enamel.

Masterful Guilloché and Hard Enamel Craftsmanship

True to the David Oscarson tradition, the Tree of Life Collection showcases exceptional craftsmanship using:

• Five stages of guilloché engraving—including high-relief outlines of roots, leaves, fruit, and bark
• Three layers of translucent and opaque hard enamel, creating stunning depth, contrast, and texture

Crafted from 18-karat gold and .925 Sterling Silver, every component undergoes a meticulous engraving process before enamel is applied by hand using the centuries-old technique of hot enameling, fired at over 1,000°F and polished to perfection.

This painstaking art form requires a five-year apprenticeship, ensuring that each pen is not only beautiful but also historically and technically exceptional.
