Top Tips to Start a Luxury Pen Collection

Some people collect pointless items while others collect lavish luxury items that create meaning in our lives. The look and feel of an exquisite pen collection add a touch of elegance and power to your everyday interactions. 

In fact, even when you're not using your pen, they make for extravagant desk charms, collectable items and simply just a trophy for your life’s accomplishments.

If you’ve ever considered building a luxury pen collection, keep reading to make sure that you're getting the best possible pen with a high resale value.

Always Do Your Research

When you’re making big purchases, you have to do your research first. Some pens may look good but they may not hold their value as well. In fact, there are many different factors that affect the value of each luxury pen. These include the brand, model, materials, finishes and year the item was released. 

What’s more, by keeping an eye out for recent luxury pen trends you may gain insight into what items are selling and the price that they’re going for.

Invest in The Best

Although purchasing the most expensive luxury pen is not completely necessary, certain luxury pens are more worthwhile than others. In terms of craftsmanship, technology and desirability, Montblanc and Cartier are the Rolex of all luxury pens. Additionally, these pens have a high resale value too!

Consider Pre-owned Luxury Pens

Yes, we know that buying a brand new luxury item feels good, but when you’re starting out, there’s no real need to purchase brand new pens that cost an arm and a leg. In fact, pre-owned items are a lot better for the environment than new items that require more materials extracted from earth to create more luxury pens. 

What’s more, authentic luxury resellers like Luxity often house rare and limited edition items that are no longer sold in store. However, always make sure that you’re buying an authentic luxury pen before making a big purchase.

Make Sure They’re Authentic

Before making any decision on the brand or type of luxury pen, first, make sure that the item you’re buying is authentic. There’s nothing worse than spending thousands on a pen that’s actually counterfeit.

To ensure your luxury pen is authentic, do your research. Make sure that the pen has an authentic serial number, model number and that you’re purchasing from a reputable source. 

What’s more, pens, much like luxury watches usually come with authentic packaging and a certificate of authenticity. 

Decide Which Type of Pen

There are many different kinds of pens, however, the most popular being fountain, rollerball and ballpoint. Although they all have their own charm, the most valuable kind of pen is typically the fountain pen. However, this is mainly because fountain pens have real gold nibs rather than metal-plate tips and cartridges like the others. 

Look For Rare & Expensive Materials

Just like watches, luxury pens are oftentimes made from expensive materials that can increase their value. In fact, brands like Cartier sometimes create pen collections that complement other in-house accessories. These pens feature the same luxurious materials, motifs and bejewelled touches collectors of the house will know and love.
