RIFLESSI

sterling silver cap and body, Guillochè decored, 18 Kt gold nib

Optima Riflessi is a unique and valuable object, with a classic design, embellished by a delicate geometric pattern, etched with Guillochè technique. The special finish creates the precious, sparkling reflections, ideal for a distinct, refined style.

The Guillochè technique

Guilloché (Guilloche), is an engraving technique in which a very precise intricate repetitive pattern or design composed by thin wavy lines is mechanically etched into an underlying material. Specifically, it involves a technique of engine turning, called guilloché in French after the French engineer “Guillot”, who invented a machine “that could scratch fine patterns and designs on metallic surfaces”. The composition of lines, their deepness and angle can create fascinating sparks of reflected light.

The Riflessi collection

The diamond-shaped engraving of the extra-fine silver gives sparkling reflections(riflessi in Italian) to this writing instrument which give name the collection.
