The Green Wood Snake Collection follows the legacy of David Oscarson’s Chinese Zodiac series. Crafted from .925 Sterling Silver, this intricate design incorporates multiple levels of diamond-cut Guilloché engraving and a combination of Translucent and Opaque Hard Enamels. These enamels are repeatedly kiln-fired and filed by hand, resulting in a stunning and enduring finish worthy of this remarkable collection.
The ancient Chinese symbol for Snake is inlaid in Opaque Black Hard Enamel on the top dome of the pen cap, while the symbol for Wood (representing strength and renewal) repeats in high relief around the top of the cap and bottom of the barrel. The modern Chinese symbol for Wood appears in Opaque Black Hard Enamel inlaid into the bottom end of the pen barrel, completing this celebration of transformation, wisdom, and craftsmanship.
This limited-edition release is a tribute to the Year of the Green Wood Snake—a time for evolution, creativity, and success. This version now reflects five color variations, each limited to eight pieces.
The cap features a radiant sun in high relief, crafted in rich gold enamel and set against deep blue guilloché that ripples like a sky in motion. The barrel continues the theme, with sterling silver stars and planetary details beneath layers of translucent blue enamel—each element rendered with remarkable depth and precision.
Number 5 of only 8 pieces produced worldwide, this pen is handcrafted in solid sterling silver and finished in hard enamel—exemplifying the signature artistry of David Oscarson.
This pen utilizes a cartridge converter or eye dropper filling system. It is equipped with a Medium 18kt gold nib.
