Majestic elegance in drawing and writing!

Studio Observations

The Bijou Fountain Pen – Ambrosia Indulgence from Ferris Wheel Press, feels special from the moment you open it. The sturdy box itself is beautiful, with foil-embossed details that make it feel like a thoughtful presentation rather than just ordinary packaging. It also comes with a soft black velvet pen case that’s protective and easy to carry in a purse or tote, which I really appreciate.

​

The pen is lovely in person. The maroon sparkle has a rich depth to it, and paired with the gold details, it gives the pen an elegant, almost jewel-like look. The gold brass grip section is especially striking. The embossed design is intricate and catches the light in a way that makes it feel truly special when you write and draw with it.

In hand, it strikes a nice balance. It isn’t heavy, but it also has enough weight to feel comfortable and steady while writing. I used it for journal writing with floral and botanical drawings, and it handled both beautifully. I also liked that it didn’t roll off my desk, as the lid has subtle flat edges that keep it in place, which is thoughtful detail in the pen's design.

​

The two-tone No. 5 steel nib is smooth and reliable, as it glides easily across the page and doesn’t skip, which makes a big difference. Writing felt effortless, and the ink flow stayed consistent and fluid throughout. It was also easy to fill, which is always a plus for me. The inclusion of a standard international converter is also a welcome choice, allowing flexibility with ink selection.

​

Overall, the Bijou Fountain Pen combines beauty with function. It’s not just nice to look at, but it is genuinely enjoyable to use, whether for writing or drawing.
