With its pearl lacquer finish and rose gold cap ring, the Parker Sonnet Metal and Pearl is an elegant addition to the Sonnet line of fountain pens. Yet as its name implies, this pen has some edge, and the faceted metal cap brings an element of contemporary design to this classic writing instrument.
Introduced in 1994 as a successor to the venerable Parker 75, the Sonnet combines classic styling with a modern focus on performance and ergonomics. With interchangeable 18k nib units and a variety of finishes, the sleekly elegant Sonnet is both a terrific everyday writer as well as a surprisingly affordable introduction to the world of quality fountain pens.
With these measurements, this pen is an excellent choice for those seeking a smaller to mid-size writing instrument.
Take a closer look at the color combination of pearlescent off-white, rose gold, and silver detail in the barrel. The juxtaposition of tones and textures creates a visual and tactile delight for the writer.
A touch of black on the tapered section as well as the cap ends adds another layer to the design, as does the etched matte chevron design on the metal cap.
The Parker Sonnet Metal and Pearl fountain pen is provided standard with an 18k solid gold rhodium-plated nib.
