Valhalla Collection

David Oscarson
My Zimbio
Top Stories The man behind the the writing instrument. David Oscarson is one of the righteous man I've met. By using only the finest materials and production techniques, Oscarson has taken the writing pen from a merely functional instrument of everyday use to the latest must-have luxury item. Boasting exceptional detail, and brilliant colors, each limited edition pen is extremely labor-intensive to produce. The pens are hand-crafted from solid Sterling Silver, which gives them a distinctive weight and luster. Each David Oscarson pen passes through multiple stages of precision engraving, creating a distinctive ornamental pattern known as Guilloché. Oscarson looks to numerous sources for his design inspiration. In additional to his faith, which fueled both his popular Harvest and Celestial collections, Oscarson has relied heavily on his family and heritage for ideas for many of his pieces. His latest offering, a three-piece collection named Valhalla, attributes its Viking-inspired designs – complete with long ship and runestone detail – to the designer’s Scandinavian roots.
a starting price of $4,500 for a fountain pen, Oscarson admits his creations are an investment, but because he uses only the finest materials and techniques, he considers each one to be an heirloom quality piece worthy of being handed down from generation to generation.
