David Oscarson - Jacques Demolay - Roller Ball Pen Grey, White & Black

THE DESIGN

A commemorative piece honouring the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, burned at the stake in Paris on 14 March 1314 rather than betray his Order. The sterling silver body carries the Templar cross and the black and white of the Beauseant in guilloché and hard enamel, with a sword-form clip. This roller ball is finished in Grey, White & Black with polished .925 sterling silver.

THE CRAFT

Hand-crafted from .925 sterling silver. Each component passes through multiple stages of precision engraving to create the guilloché pattern, then hard enamel — glass, water and metal oxides ground by hand with a mortar and pestle — is applied with a quill, kiln-fired at over 1,000 °F, filed back by hand with a diamond file and fired again until the enamel fills every valley of the engraving. The pieces are then polished and buffed to the velvet finish of true translucent hard enamel. A five-year apprenticeship is required to master the process.

THE COLLECTION

The Jacques deMolay Collection is part of the David Oscarson series of Limited Edition writing instruments. Produced as a numbered limited edition.

THE WRITING

The roller ball version of the collection — the same sterling silver, guilloché and hard-enamel body as the fountain pen, with a capped roller ball section that takes a standard roller ball refill for an effortless, consistent line.
