Introduction

The Gradient collection by S.T. Dupont showcases their expertise in applying natural lacquer to writing instruments. It’s available in two finishes: La Flamme and La Mer, each offering a gradient effect with luxurious blended hues. The pens come in S.T. Dupont’s large Line D and are crafted entirely at their factory in Faverges, France. Ancient Japanese and Chinese lacquer techniques are utilized in the manufacturing process, with each pen undergoing a two-stage production involving hand painting up to 9 layers of natural lacquer and spraying additional pearlescent lacquer for the gradient effect. The collection includes fountain pens and rollerballs. La Mer from the Gradient collection by S.T. Dupont features a gradient design with hues ranging from vibrant light blue at the cap, to a velvety dark blue, and lightening up to a serene light blue at the base of the pen, paying tribute to the shifting ebbs and flows of the sea.
