David Oscarson – Harvest Collection - Maple Red

David Oscarson – Harvest Collection

The Harvest Collection is the fourth edition in David Oscarson's series of limited-edition writing instruments and a tribute to abundance, growth, and the beauty of handcrafted perfection. It celebrates the interplay of nature and art, symbolism and precision – captured in exquisite engraving and luminous enamel.

Each writing instrument is crafted from 18-karat gold and .925 sterling silver and features a delicate, three-tiered guilloché pattern in the form of ears of wheat, grasses, and grains, which stands out in relief from the background. The structure is reminiscent of the weave of a harvest basket, crisscrossed with fine lines, capturing light and depth in a fascinating way.

The Harvest Collection was David Oscarson's first collection to combine three levels of engraving and two enamel colors . Translucent hues are applied over the intricate pattern, contrasting with opalescent white in up to five different shades. Each layer of hard enamel is applied by hand, fired at over 1000°F, sanded, and polished until the surface achieves its distinctive silky sheen—a process requiring experience, patience, and the utmost precision.

The writing system accommodates cartridge, converter, and eyedropper ink. A series of seals and O-rings ensures absolute leak-proof performance. The 18-karat gold nib, manufactured in Heidelberg and rhodium-plated, guarantees a smooth, consistent writing experience with its ebonite-based feed.

Available as a fountain pen (F, M, B) or rollerball, the Harvest Collection is produced in five color variations:

• Translucent Sapphire Blue and Opalescent White with 18-karat gold vermeil

• Translucent Harvest Gold and Opalescent White with 18-karat gold vermeil

• Translucent Warm Amber and Opalescent White with 18-karat gold vermeil

• Translucent Copper Bronze and Opalescent White with 18-karat gold vermeil

Each color variant is limited to 88 pieces worldwide.

The Harvest Collection combines masterful enamel art with symbolic depth – a tribute to the harvest as an emblem of growth, creation and the continuous cycle of life.
