ystudio Ballpoint Pen – Black

The ystudio Brassing Ballpoint Pen takes a solid brass body, coats it in black, and then invites you to wear it away. Inspired by the patina of vintage cameras, the black finish is designed to gradually reveal the warm brass beneath through daily use — a pen that becomes more personal the longer you own it. A sheet of fine sandpaper is included if you’d rather accelerate the process.

Beneath the design philosophy sits a genuinely excellent writing instrument. The brass body gives the pen a satisfying weight and balance, while the copper fittings add warmth to every detail. It writes smoothly across the page with the kind of quiet confidence that makes you want to keep going. Presented in a drawer-style gift box with booklet.

Small Details, Big Difference

Brassing finish that tells your story: The black coating wears away through use, revealing the brass underneath in patterns unique to how you hold and carry the pen.

Solid brass weight and balance: The pen settles naturally in the hand, giving every stroke a satisfying sense of control and substance.

Refillable for life: Uses standard Parker-type ballpoint refills, so you’re never more than a quick swap away from writing again.
