Classic Pens LB3 Jupiter Limited Edition Fountain Pen.

For the LB3 Jupiter, Classic Pens partnered with penmaker and artist extraordinaire, Paul Rossi, to create a space-themed inlay pattern on the pen that depicts the planet Jupiter, its moons, and the stars.

Material: Diffusion-Blue diffusion bonded acrylic.

The center of the inlay design is the large red circle of Classic Pen’s Kaen acrylic representing Jupiter. The striations of the material, which also show up in the LB5 line and the LM1 lines, closely mirror the gaseous swirls of the giant planet it represents.

The LB3 Jupiter is an exquisite inlay design of the planet, its four main moons and the heavens at night. It is handcrafted by the multi-talented artist Paul Rossi, to the demanding quality standards of Classic Pens. The canvas for this exclusive design introduces the Legend™ pen. Legend™ is a Classic Pens trademark. It is the very first pen model developed and produced by the company, it marks a new beginning and celebrates the Twentieth Anniversary of Classic Pens.

The materials used for the Legend™ pens and consequently for the LB3 Jupiter, consist of the highest quality acrylics. They are manufactured in England exclusively for Classic Pens. Thin sheets of acrylic are laid on top of one another and then are diffusion bonded to create extremely stable and durable material, unlike any other. Parker used this type of diffusion bonded acrylic in its Mosaic, Pin Stripe and True Blue Duofold Limited Editions, the top acrylic finishes of the Duofold range. The Classic Pens acrylic pearl finishes are Flame Red and Space Blue.

The LB3 Jupiter consists of inlaying both acrylic materials and precious metals into the cap and barrel. The planet itself is represented in Flame Red with its four orbiting moons in white and blue acrylic. There are 21 stars in 18K solid gold, inlaid in three constellation formations, 7 stars each formation . On either side of the clip, are Big Bear and Little Bear with Orion on the barrel. Finally, small sterling silver stars are inlaid artistically to complete the night sky surrounding the planet.

The LB3 Jupiter Art Pens are handcrafted by Paul Rossi. It requires a minimum of 10 hours to complete each inlay design. All 100 pens in the series conform to the same poetic theme, but each differs just enough from the others to be truly a distinctive work of art. And Paul likes to remind us “Every LB3 Jupiter pen has a little bit of my soul in it.”

This is not just a Pen, it’s a work of Art.
