The world’s most expensive pen has finally gone on sale… for $1,470,000.

As we reported in February, 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.

British pen expert Mark Fitzgibbon said: “I’ve been in this industry for years and never seen a pen as expensive as this. The dearest I’ve sold before was Ă‚ÂŁ1,700.”

Only one pen is available each year from Italian manufacturers Aurora and the lucky buyer can further get it personalized with their coat-of-arms, signature or portrait.
