Pen of the Day: Aurora Optima Sole

Aurora Optima Sole fountain pen

Aurora Optima Sole with medium nib. This is just fountain pen sunshine, somewhere between yellow and orange in color.

And totally gorgeous.

And this is my favorite orange ink, Caran d’Ache Saffron.

  1. Wow, I think I have finally found a duplicate for the discontinued Sailor Jentle Apricot, which is a firm favorite of mine! Thanks!

    The pen is a perfect match, right down to the nib! Is it really reddish like that in person? Or is it just my monitor?

    1. I would say it’s more orangey than red. Sadly you have not found a replacement for Apricot, because Caran d’Ache Saffron is also discontinued. 😦

  2. “Fountain pen sunshine,” I love that! What a great phrase!

    And, yes, this is a gorgeous pen. I’m glad I had the opportunity to see it in person last weekend.
