Seven fountain pens observing the birth of the third millenium. The highlight is a Roma 2000 Gian Lorenzo Bernini pen, honoring the Florentine sculptor on the 400th anniversary of his birth. The 20-faceted pen is fashioned of 18K solid gold with mother-of-pearl panels, with a blue lapis lazuli set in the captop, cradled in a Murano crystal half-shell display tray. Its creation took over 200 hours, and it is perhaps Omas' finest achievement. Also included are three pairs of Roma 2000 pens, 18K solid gold and sterling silver over resin. Each pair represents a different millennium: the first pair portrays a compass, a Viking boat, and other symbols. The second pair portrays the Crusades, Da Vinci, Columbus, a locomotive, a missile, and other emblems of modernity. The third pair, representing the new millennium, features astronomical symbols, suggesting mankind's destiny in the stars. Extra-fine two-tone gold nibs. Outer boxes, display boxes, booklets, Murano crystal tray. Year of production: 1998. Limited Editions: 025/100 (Bernini); 025/100 (gold Roma 2000s); 0025/1000 (silver Roma 2000s).
