About Eternity Pen
Eternity is a metal pen designed for everyday writing. The body is made of aluminum and is shaped by high-precision CNC turning of an aluminum tube. The surface is frosted by sandblasting and polishing, then treated with anodic oxidation to make the texture smooth and glossy. The frosted finish softens the reflection of the metal and gives a delicate touch. The random texture refers to the circle as a symbol of time. The clip is cast in zinc alloy and hand ground, and a built-in spring structure holds the pen in books and pockets.
