Aurora Pens

Expensive but a stunning ltd edition pen. Writes like a dream.

Perfect writer.

Absoloutly beautiful pen. Writes like a dream!

I haven't had any problems. What I do want is some kind of holder for all my different inks that go with specific pens.

Great fountain pen! This is my second Aurora Optima. It writes beautifully and the color and feel are wonderful!

Demonstrator pens are not for everyone, but if they are in one’s wheelhouse, the this is the most beautiful example I have ever held. My pen journey started 2o years ago with an Aurora Ipsilon, which I thought was extravagant for an entry into the hobby. I was drawn to Aurora’s history, and having lived in Torino, it was a great -lace to star. Over the years many purchases and many disappointments have entered my collection after I snapped that Ipsilon in half one fateful day! I will say I have been lulled by the Japanese grail pens all do be dissatisfied with cheap ink converters ruining what could have been beautiful works of art. Here I am, back to the beginning and back to not just a beautiful pen, but one that exudes Italian engineering and designs that blew the rest away with its first inking and writing.
The build quality is phenomenal. The materials are spectacular, the filling system is worthy of a pen at this price point and it writes like a dream. Of all my nib experiments, the Aurora Medium is by far, the one that works for me and has proven consistent, skip free and dry start free since I opened the box yesterday.
I am so happy that Pen Chalet had this very model in a Medium and I am very fortunate to have found myself in a position to acquire it from them. Shipping was quick and packaging was very protective of the contents.
Again, if demonstrators are not ones, style, a standard 88 is definitely a pen to eventually have in one’s collection, but it may just become a daily carry after the first page is written, leaving the rest to be viewed for their beauty and sentimental value. This Aurora 88 in the Trilobiti Cobalto trim checks all of the boxes for me. This is a solid, functioning pen, made with exceptional materials and build that I can say is absolutely a trait the fine people of Torino put forth in all of the goods they produce.
If one asks, why is an $800 plus dollar pen an excellent product value, I would be more than happy to show more than one in my collection of equal or greater value pens that don’t come close to Aurora’s performance, value and looks.

The best black ink on the market, or at least among the top 3-5 ones. It's pure black, does't fade when dried (beautiful and vibrant on my Mnemosyne notebooks), and contrarily to Platinum Carbon no risk of clogging your pen with particles; also it doesn't bleed easily on cheaper papers, so that's really an ink for everyday! Plus the 45ml bottle is beautiful in its simplicity, practical to store and and easy to carry.

It is a beautiful pen. It has a very classy look but it does have quite a bit of feedback. If you are looking for buttery smooth writing, this is not your pen, however if you prefer feedback then this is a lovely option. I personally enjoy both types of writing experience and I enjoy this pen.

I'm very pleased with my Aurora Ipsilon. The fine nib writes beautifully with just a bit of feedback, which I love. It's very comfortable to hold, and the green pen body with black & gold trim is a great combination. I think that this is a very underrated pen, and I give it a high recommendation.

Opening this package was truly an experience. The pen itself is lovely and very well-made, and everything about the packaging, from the photography to the included ink to the scent pillow was thoughtfully selected to coordinate. I enjoyed it very much and the writing experience lives up to the expectations created by the packaging.

I live to write with an ink pen, and these refills are indispenable!

This is the only black ink I will use. Rich, dark color, smooth flowing, great in every pen I’ve put it in over many years. Totally excellent.

Great product! Great business to deal with as they are prompt and very responsive.

My go to black ink. My only black ink. No shades of any other colors. Rich, dark, good depth. Works on all of my fountain pens. Writes well on all of my papers. Been using it for years. Excellent black ink, Period.

I was using a platinum converter for my first aurora.. it leaked slighly.. this converter is exactly perfect.

Super Super!
Nice sized pen.
writes like a dream
affordable excellence!!!

100% Delighted
Very nice weight and hand fitting fuction.
The writing experience is exceptionally comfortable. I like the exact color i picked better in person than the pictures.

Very nice size not to small or big. The materials the pens are made out of EXCEEDs innfeel
an perfoemance: pelikan’s ( pelikan’s low end pens are twice the price) sailors’s and 3776 .
plastics, and some monte blancs “ precious resins”.

Do your self a favor put one of these graceful pens in your ink rotation pen cup!

i hesitated to order a “special order” .. pen ...when would i get it???

The pen came within days. Everything was pleasing about this transaction and pen.

Very very nice and fine fountain pen. Very smooth writer straight out of box. Happy to get it. Also very nice service from pen chalet. Thanks to all.

I wasn't too impressed with this pen at first, thought it just average, but find myself reaching for it more and more as time goes on. Now it's one of my regular go-to pens. Nib is very slightly toothy - not much, just enough to give a trace of feedback, which I rather like. Posts firmly. Never skips or fails to start, comfortable to hold. Good buy.

Aurora likely provides the best inks going. Period. I have used their Blue (dark enough to xerox as black, but clearly blue when you view the original -- very useful for lawyers keeping tab on documents -- for years and am pleased as well with their Red.

I love how generous these samples are! 4ml is actually a lot of ink and it is more ink than any of my eyedropper pens can even handle. I get months of use from a single ink sample! Aurora Black is pretty famous so I wanted to try it even though I already own too many black inks. It's pretty nice, but in my dry Parker 51 Next Generation Deluxe I haven't noticed anything special with it. It's a dry pen and this ink didn't fix that.

I liked my first one so much I ordered a second. Aurora is one of My Favorite brands. An awesome pen for the money

Very nice. A perfect match to the roller ball pen. Just as I wanted.

Very nice nice pen. Just what I have been looking for. Super service and Shipping

I've been using Aurora black ink for years. It does not ghost, bleed through, or cause feathering, the price seems fair, and it's a decent saturation - it's not a faded, watered-down black. The main thing it has going against it is that it's not archival/water resistant/water proof; this ink WILL run and wipe out if water gets on it. You may not want to sign important documents with it, but use it mostly for notes and everyday writing.
