Aurora Clutch w/Labradorite, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Aurora Clutch with Labradorite by Raven Kauffman is one that you might not want to stash in the closet with all your other handbags between uses -- it's so pretty it could pull off a place on your dresser or vanity top like a piece of art. The clutch features a flying swallow pattern handcut into a grille of 18k gold-plated brass and labradorite. The grille is then set over a layer of Green Lady Amherst feathers for a wonderful contrast of textures. It has a detachable chain and flap closure, and measures 6 3/4" x 3 1/2" x 1 1/2". $2,290

A New World's Most Expensive Pen?

Filed under: Writing Instruments

It's probably not the best time to be selling a diamond-covered pen. Luckily only one is for sale per year. The Aurora Diamante contains over 30 carats of De Beers diamonds on a solid platinum barrel. It has a two-tone, rhodium-treated, 18KT solid gold nib and is personalized with a coat of arms, signature or portrait. Aurora Pens says it is the only over 30 carat pen in the world. It is believed to be worth around one million euros which would make it more expensive than the Van Cleef & Arpels Mystery pen.

Aurora Talentum Finesse Pens

Filed under: Writing Instruments

The Talentum Finesse from Aurora pens takes the classic look of the Talentum and shrinks it down to a slimmer profile for smaller hands or for tucking in a suit pocket. The fountain pen and roller have pull off caps and there is also a ballpoint version. The fountain pen has a 14K nib and fills through a cartridge or converter. The fountain pen sells for $156 and all three pens are also available in black but I prefer the pretty in pink version.
