Under the title Alchemy of Writing ELBWOOD creates extraordinary treasures. This collaboration with the Bamberg metal designer and jewelry artist Alvaro-Luca Ellwart The LONGCAP becomes a vehicle for sculptural silversmithing – a writing instrument that goes far beyond the classic concept of a fountain pen.

The LONGCAP is crafted entirely from solid silver. Cap and stem form a clean, minimalist cylinder, subordinating proportion, weight, and surface to a single idea: to highlight the material and craftsmanship. Alvaro-Luca Ellwart sets his inlays within this serene form – miniature landscapes of metal that resemble frozen moments of an alchemical process.

Starting with the archaic sand-casting technique, he shapes a moon-crater-like structure by hand in red Delft sand, places a selected stone – often a sapphire with a fascinating provenance – into the still-raw form, and fills it with molten silver. As the metal solidifies, the stone is set directly into place. This resulting inlay is then inserted into the solid silver cap; a corresponding element is found in the shaft. The clean lines of the LONGCAP form thus become a silent stage for his artistic signature.

Equipped with a high-quality 18-karat gold nib, this piece combines the precision of a finely balanced writing instrument with the presence of a silver jewelry object. Alchemy of Writing Here, it literally stands for the condensation of metal, stone, and idea – into a fountain pen that wants to be collected as much as it wants to be written on.

Each piece in this series is unique: structure, casting pattern, and stone used vary, making every LONGCAP distinctive. Those who place particular importance on the choice of stone should inquire directly with ELBWOOD or their retail partner about the currently available options before purchasing. Custom orders using heritage stones or stones with a special provenance are also possible upon request – subject to personal consultation.
