David Oscarson Sea Turtles Peacock Blue with Pale Blue Turtles ST Fountain pen

Celebrate the majestic elegance and vital ecological role of sea turtles with the David Oscarson Sea Turtles Fountain Pen, a breathtaking limited edition writing instrument inspired by the ocean’s most ancient and graceful navigators. As the 33rd collection in the acclaimed David Oscarson Limited Edition Series, this masterpiece captures the soul of marine life through exquisite artistry and meticulous craftsmanship.

A Symbol of Longevity, Strength, and Ocean Conservation

Sea turtles are among the oldest living creatures on Earth, surviving for over 100 million years and playing a critical role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. From the migratory leatherback to the reef-loving hawksbill, six of the seven sea turtle species travel across the world’s oceans, reminding us of nature’s beauty, resilience, and fragility.

The Sea Turtles Collection honors these noble creatures and their oceanic journey, weaving their story into every detail of the pen.

Exquisite Design and Meaningful Symbolism

Handcrafted with David Oscarson’s signature combination of solid sterling silver, engine-turned guilloché, and translucent hot enamel, the Sea Turtles Fountain Pen is as meaningful as it is luxurious:

• Three sculpted sea turtles coast through a colorful coral reef, surrounded by currents, coral, and angelfish in high and low relief.
• Tortoise-shell inspired grip section paired with a coral-shaped clip, uniting form and function.
• Japanese Kanji characters for "Turtle" (亀) and "Sea" (海) are elegantly engraved in high relief on the cap top and barrel base respectively.
• The name David Oscarson, engraved in Japanese script on the cap ring, further enhances the cultural homage.

Each pen reflects the serene movement and quiet strength of sea turtles gliding through the ocean, creating a writing experience that’s as meditative as it is powerful.

Masterful Craftsmanship with a Deeper Purpose

The Sea Turtles Collection is not just a pen—it’s a canvas of traditional guilloché engraving, multiple layers of translucent hard enamel, and Old World enameling techniques requiring over 1,000°F kiln firings and precise hand-finishing. These timeless methods ensure each piece is as enduring as the sea turtles that inspired it.
