The Intwana model
The new model, the Intwana (meaning Smaller One in Xhosa), is shorter and slimmer, better suited to people who prefer smaller pens or who have smaller hands.
The Intwana model’s cap has a 2-start thread, which means that it opens and closes with a single turn. It has bronze cap and section rings, and the clip is gold-plated.

The Nandi model
This is our latest beaded model. It features a pattern that has been made through individually weaving approximately 1 500 tiny beads Miyuki Delica beads into a beautiful design. The beads are encased in a clear resin to protect them and provide the owner with a glass-smooth surface to hold.
The Nandi model’s cap has a 2-start thread, which means that it opens and closes with very few turns. It has bronze cap and section rings, and the clip is gold-plated.

The Jabulani model
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
