Under the title Alchemy of Writing is created in collaboration with the Bamberg Jewelry artist, author and illustrator Nora Kovats A special treasure: a LONGCAP, whose clear, calm form is designed to give full attention to its enamel work.
The LONGCAP is crafted entirely from solid silver. Nora decorates the entire exterior of the cap with classic enamel. In a complex process, she applies 15 to 20 ultra-thin layers of powdered glass, each layer being fired individually. This creates a deeply luminous, vibrant surface with visible depth and subtle color gradations. It took three years of collaborative development to refine this technique to the point where the enamel completely encircles the cap – without chipping, without stress cracks, and with an absolutely secure bond to the metal.
Inside the barrel is another, smaller inlay, also covered with enamel by Nora Kovats, which echoes the color scheme of the cap. The clear, geometric LONGCAP shape remains deliberately understated, supporting the enamel like a silent frame – silver as structure, enamel as image.
Equipped with a high-quality 18-karat gold nib, this piece combines the precision of a finely balanced writing instrument with the presence of an enameled piece of jewelry. Alchemy of Writing Here, it represents the transformation of metal, glass, and fire into a single, harmonious whole – a fountain pen that wants to be written on and at the same time exists as an artistic object.
For each precious item, Nora also creates a unique watercolor painting, which is traditionally mounted onto the packaging cardboard using bookbinding techniques. In this way, the box itself becomes part of the artwork and bears her personal touch even before the fountain pen is picked up.
Each piece in this series is naturally unique: Even when Nora uses the same enamel powders and color formulas, new gradients, depths, and nuances always emerge. Those who prefer a specific color scheme should contact ELBWOOD or our retail partners directly before purchasing to discuss the currently available options. Custom-made pieces with specific color requests are also possible upon request – please contact us for a personal consultation.
