Timeless elegance and sharp wit—Jane Austen’s legacy as one of the most influential voices in English literature continues to inspire readers around the world. Known for her keen observations of society and enduring characters, her work remains a cornerstone of classic storytelling.With her graceful prose and brilliant social commentary, Jane Austen captured the complexities of love, class, and character in Regency England. Her novels, including Pride and Prejudice and Emma, have secured her place among the literary greats. Writers Edition Homage to Jane Austen Limited Edition 1813 transports us to the landscape of Hampshire, where, from 1809, Jane Austen found the quiet and inspiration she needed to be able to complete and publish her famous novels.
In tribute to Pride and Prejudice, perhaps Jane Austen’s most iconic novel first published in 1813, the cap ring bears the Roman numerals XXXIV—a nod to the chapter where the proud Mr. Darcy makes his proposal to the fiercely independent Elizabeth Bennet. Surrounding the Montblanc emblem in luminous mother-of-pearl, the wooden inlay is engraved with the simple but powerful phrase “By a Lady,” echoing the modest authorship credit on the title page of her debut novel Sense and Sensibility in 1811. The design of the pen reflects the charm of the Regency era, with a silhouette reminiscent of a wax seal stamp—much like those Austen may have used in her correspondence. Its rhodium-coated clip, shaped like a braided cord, recalls the drawstring closures of reticules—elegant pouches that carried a lady’s daily essentials. As a tribute to Austen’s literary legacy, her only known silhouette is finely engraved on the handcrafted, two-tone 18K gold nib. Limited to just 1,813 pieces, this special edition commemorates the year her most beloved novel was released and honours Jane Austen’s enduring influence as a writer whose wit and wisdom continue to captivate generations.
