The OMAS Silk Way Vermeil Sterling Silver Fountain Pen is a precious homage to a route which has marked the history of man and of cultural exchanges between peoples in the last 2000 years.

The Silk Way refers to the network of caravan and trade routes, covering approximately 8,000 km over land and sea, and along rivers, along which trade flowed in Antiquity between the Chinese Empires and the West. The OMAS Silk Way Limited Edition Solid Gold Fountain Pen is thus dedicated to this route.

This new masterpiece of craftsmanship from OMAS summarizes some of the most representative elements of the “Silk Way” in the stylistic elements of the Limited Edition.
