Aurora Pens

Great pen. It was my gateway "drug" to fountain pens. Get the extra fine nib to minimize smugging.

Great Pen! I have both black and white. Hard to say which one is my favorite.

The Aurora Vintage DuoCart fountain pen's nib writes nice and wet. I filled it with Aurora Blue and it took off writing with great flow right away. The pen's barrel is not red, it's maroon. The barrel is a good thickness, it does not feel fragile or cheap, it feels strong and of very good quality. The gold-colored cap has a nice weight to it, and when slip-capped, the fit is snug. The stylish look of this pen is very pleasing. I am happy with this fountain pen!

Am much enjoying this fine writing instrument. Have not previously owned Aurora it was exactly as described and works perfectly. Am using Pelican Black ink. Am using it several times a week for journaling and general correspondence. Can highly recommend.

Aurora Black is well known as a wet ink I bought this to use in a couple of dry writing pens. It has worked very well and I am now able to use these pens. It's a very dark black and quite well behaved in my pens. I am very pleased with this famous ink.

I have a long standing wrist injury which when writing necessitates a light touch; pressing with a pen aggravates the pain. Therefore, I search for fountain pens which smoothly write and in which the ink flows well on the paper - without PRESSING. Most of the time over the last 20+ years of collecting fountain pens, I must spend an arm and a leg to discover the smoothly writing, no pressure pen. This AURORA IPSILON DELUX COLLECTION meets my requirements without having to spend
2-arms & 3-legs. You will not be dissatisfied when writing with this fine fountain pen. Your checking account will also be pleased. Go for it! A Phoenix fountain pen lover.

Beautiful Pen. The color of the auroloide is much prettier in reality than the picture on the website. I love the size of the Optima and the fact it posts easily. I can use it un-posted but this is one pen that I like to post.

Good behaver

Good pen,excellent customer service from Pen Chalet.

Seems a bit silly to review a standard fountain pen converter, but it is a great one. I love writing with my Aurora fountain pen and must, of course, have the converter when I use bottled ink.

The item in my order I was most excited about is not here yet --- the Karas Kustoms fountain pen. Alas.

I read a lot of reviews regarding black inks because i don't like to use black ink unless i have to. I also keep a running sheet of all inks i have used for comparison sake. This is indeed the blackest ink i have had the opportunity to try on any paper or document i have had to sign.

It’s a beautiful instrument. I am enjoying writing by it.

As my items below show - the Aurora pen is excellent in every way.

Thank you,

What can I say? This is a grail. Plain and simple. I was into effective utilitarian Japanese quality Pilots and Sailors but the Saturno was the first among a few Italians that got my eye. The Aurora 88 Saturno has symbolic personal significance (rationalization, haha) but seriously photos do not do this pen justice. This is a marriage of beauty, class with honed Italian sport car performance and took my pen virginity la dolce vita heights. A88 sings in Aurora Black and the medium nib does reverse duty with equal smoothness. Prima, Primo!!!

This is the famed Aurora Black that will go in my Aurora fountain pen also from Pen Chalet. It's black and when paired to its partner makes writing sing sweetly. Makes me want to venture out of my comfort zone to....? Blue/Black, oh my!

Of the five dealers from whom I buy pens, Pen Chalet's service was in every respect exemplary, amazing, over-the-top. This was another outstanding experience with them. Writes great with a fine nib and a great weight for writing. Ron was a great help in purchasing the pen and Pen Chalet's service is exemplary once again.

I enjoy writing with this pen very much, but I actually learned that I like pens to be on the heavier side once I felt how light this on is. It doesn't take away from the experience, just a personal discovery. The look of the pen is sleek yet refined. The nib is very smooth, but I would suggest refraining from using it on lesser quality paper as the nib tends to faulse start after just a momentary break in writing. I mean literally seconds! At first I thought the issue was with the pen, then I tried it on 80g paper and problem solved.

Excellent cartridges for my Aurora fountain pen! I was so glad to find them at Pen Chalet!

I am enjoying writing with this pen. I made a good choice.

Beautifully made fountain pen. It has the traditional classic style that's elegant and timeless.

I am no expert on fountain pens but this pen is very smooth and it is the most expensive pen that I have in my collection.... it is also my favorite. well worth the money ?? and pen chalet ...they’ll are fantastic in the serve ...they give to us there customers,,,the deserve 5 ??????????

Wonderful pen with a lovely smooth nib! Highly recommended. Great quality!

This pen is exactly as described in the online reviews i read before purchasing. It is a beautiful classic pen and a stunning writer if a toothy. It is either you who feels or the pen which feels the paper. I am not sure which, but it is a marvelous experience.

This is a 14K gold nib and my third pen with gold nibs. I now see everyone's love of gold nibs.

Pen Chalet was very fast in getting me the pen, just a matter of 2 or 3 days. Thank you.

I bought the red Kappa and was not disappointed with this rollerball. The red is bright and makes me want to pick up the brilliant blue!

Beautiful pen and really nice presentation box; nice touch for it to come with a blue ink cartridge (rather than black). I bought it as a gift for a friend; looking forward to giving it to him!
