Greetings!
Sir Francis Drake was born in Tavistock, near Plymouth, England in around 1540. With Plymouth the home of modern day Conway Stewart, it seems only appropriate for the company to name this superb new design after a local legend. The sterling silver edition of the Drake model has been a great success and by popular demand, we are proud to add to this luxurious collection the Drake in Vermeil.

Drake Vermeil Limited Edition
A lush vermeil finish elevates the intricate engraving of the Drake to yet another level of luxury. Luscious in appearance, the thick gold covering warms in the hand, further enhancing the personal pleasure of using a Conway Stewart writing instrument.
Vermeil has long been admired and very much in demand for a diverse range of products. The process of vermeil can be produced by either the fire-gilding or electrolysis method. In the 1700s the original fire-gilding process was developed in France but was later banned due to the use of mercury in the process. Today's vermeil is produced safely using electrolysis.

Drake Sterling Silver Edition
The Drake fountain pen regular edition is fashioned
from a solid rod of sterling silver. Guilloche engraving is used
to create a gently flowing wave pattern on the cap and barrel,
set off with highly polished cap top, cap band, and barrel end.
The solid sterling silver section leaves the weight centred
low in the hand, ensuring that the pen is balanced well when
writing. Each pen is engraved with the name Drake on the cap
band, and a likeness of The Golden Hind on the cap top. The
Conway Stewart Drake bears the English Sterling Silver Hallmark,
the world accepted standard for precious metal. For details on price and further images, please click here!
