Description S.T. Dupont has launched a new USA exclusive edition, the Gold Dust. The pens showcase S.T. Dupont’s expert ability to apply natural lacquer to writing instruments of the highest quality. Each writing instrument is crafted entirely at the S.T. Dupont factory in Faverges, France and is made utilizing ancient Japanese and Chinese techniques. Each pen passes through a two-stage production process. Up to 9 Layers of sumptuous natural lacquer are hand painted to the brass barrel of each pen, the result is a pearl like shimmer and a luxurious finish that is resistant to shocks, scratches and even fire. The S.T. Dupont Line D Large Gold Dust rollerball features a barrel and cap made of 9 layers of rich black natural lacquer with a sprinkling of gold dust, accented by gold trim. The Line D pen has been recently remodeled with a new, bold blazon on the articulated clip, an enhanced Dupont 'D' in the crown of the cap and a perfectly balanced shape for exceptional writing. The pen cap closes with Dupont's iconic 'cling' and features a fluted grip section for a superb writing experience.
