Filibella Ballpoint Pen Kits
Craft an heirloom-quality writing instrument that turns heads with the Filibella Ballpoint Pen Kit. This elegant twist pen features an intricately embossed filigree pattern and two genuine Swarovski crystals set into the cap, elevating it well beyond a typical turned pen. Available in three richly aged antique finishes — each chemically darkened to simulate the patina of time — this kit is ideal for gift giving, bridal parties, or anyone who appreciates a pen with genuine artisan character.
What truly sets the Filibella apart is its two-piece blank design. The lower and upper barrels use different tube sizes (7mm and 8mm), giving you the freedom to select two complementary woods or acrylics and let the decorative Band Coupler showcase the contrast. It's an approachable build with minimum parts and a stunning payoff.
Features
Filigree Band Coupler: An ornate embossed openwork band joins the upper and lower barrels, adding an Old World elegance that distinguishes this pen from any other slimline kit.
Swarovski Crystal Accents: Two genuine Swarovski crystals set into the cap add a refined sparkle that makes this pen a natural choice for special occasions and gift giving.
Antique Finishes: Chemically darkened to simulate the effects of age, the antique platings deliver a long-lasting, richly textured look that pairs beautifully with dark exotic woods.
Two-Piece Blank Construction: Separate upper and lower barrels let you mix woods, acrylics, or stabilized materials for a layered, custom look held together by the decorative band.
Smooth Twist Mechanism: A reliable twist action extends and retracts the ballpoint tip — no click noise, just elegant and satisfying operation.
Cross® Style Refill Included: Comes with a Cross-compatible ballpoint refill ready to write right out of the box; replacement refills are widely available.
Beginner-Friendly Build: Minimum parts and a straightforward assembly process make this an excellent project for newer turners, while the results reward intermediate and advanced turners equally.
Approx. 5¾" Finished Length: A comfortable, standard pen size that balances well in the hand and appeals to a wide range of pen users.
