I bought this pen for a relative over 15 years ago. She gave it back, so I gave it to my mom, and SHE gave it back! Now that I’ve messed with it again, I’m not sure why I kept giving it away. It’s a nice solid little pen. Granted, it’s fairly lightweight plastic, and the marbling isn’t exactly subtle (I think it’s a printed design, but I can’t be sure), and the nib is steel, which is generally not my preference. Still, it’s a smooth and reliable writer, fairly wet, not skippy or scratchy. A good pen to take along when I’m just out and about, and would be afraid to take some of my treasures.

After finally realizing the virtues of my blue Phileas, I leapt at the chance to grab another one when a member of FPN was selling the kit for around $30. Oddly, it doesn’t *quite* behave as well as the blue, but it’s still a great little pen.

Same exact pen as the Orange, but with a green, blue, purple shimmer. (Yes, there was a nail polish like this, too! LOL) These are both stunning pens, and generally solid writers.

his is essentially a simplified (in other words ‘cheaper’), version of the Phileas. Solid reliable, no muss no fuss pen. What gets me it the colors in the Reflectis series! It says Orange, but really, it’s orange, red, pink, gold, even hints of green in certain lights. (This may be a crazy way to describe it, but Sally Hansen made a nail polish called Amber Ruby that had the same multi-color, iridescent shimmer, and I loved that, too. Very eye-catching finish!
