That is an awesome combination. Good job! The funny part is I normally hate ivory colored anything... but the combination of parts together make a beautiful pen. You should have a very happy customer.

It's very elegant looking. The ruby tortoise sets off the alabaster really nicely. And I like the shape of the pen, too -- I agree with those who wanted the smooth transition from threads to barrel.

Thank you! It's interesting how many people really need that smooth transition, while there are others that never even notice a step when the pen is in their hand. That's the nice part of making "custom" pens -- I change just about anything the customer wants me to.

Beautiful work Renee. I agree with the others that the amber really sets it off.
