DOLCEVITA
DESK SET Delta introduced a bold new look for luxury writing instruments in 1998. It was named, “Dolcevita” for the Italian “sweet life” that everyone dreams about. They hand-made special Terracotta Orange and Black resins and accented the instruments with hand-cast sterling silver. The result was stunning to look at and raised the bar for luxury writing instruments forever!Delta presents The Dolcevita Desk Set… It is dynamic in appearance, blending a new streamlined shape with classic design cues borrowed from an ancient Pompeian motif. The Delta Dolcevita Desk Set is high art for the serious writer, perfectly balanced for all the senses. It promises a beautiful writing experience and is amazingly comfortable to hold. It fills with a platinum plated lateral lever and delivers a high performance writing experience. Life is sweet; it deserves the Delta Dolcevita Desk Set.

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.
The only 100% guarantee of course
comes when the pen is
actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our
pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is
getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using
a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords
our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from
His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!
