The Lord of the Rings: Doom is a luxury, hand crafted, limited-edition writing collection designed and manufactured by Montegrappa in partnership with Warner Bros. The Lord of the Rings: Doom is a Collector’s Edition reissue of Montegrappa’s sold-out The Lord of the Rings edition, released in 2019. Part of the maker’s Cult Series, this new limited-edition collection re-envisions the original design with colours and finishes that recreate the menace and magic of Mount Doom – home to the Dark Lord Sauron.
- Crafted from sterling silver and ‘Montegrappite’ artisanal resin, the painstaking detail found on The Lord of the Rings: Doom pays homage to the dense, mythological taleand its subsequent cinematic adaptation. More than two dozen artefacts from the big-screen trilogy are sculpted into an elaborate external sheath, before piece-plating with ruthenium and yellow gold.
- All ornamental metals used in the creation of The Lord of the Rings: Doom are made using the traditional jeweller’s art of lost wax casting. A Montegrappa house specialty, the technique helped elevate pens to luxury status when it was revived in 1995 for Dragon – the Venetian maker’s most iconic design. Over recent decades, this art has defined many of Montegrappa’s most coveted creations.
- Standout design features include a hand-enamelled ‘Eye of Sauron’ suspended in the Tower of Barad-dûr. The pocket-clip design reprises Sting – the Elvish dagger carried by Frodo Baggins – with a vermeil blade. A green cubic zirconia references Aragon’s Ring of Barahir, but is overshadowed by a replica of the One Ring itself. Able to be removed and worn, the Ruling Ring’s inclusion symbolises the power of writing and the timelessness of high artisanship.
- The sterling-silver sheath on The Lord of the Rings: Doom is fitted around a hand-lathed core of Montegrappite artisanal resin. A unique blend of this proprietary material was created especially for this edition using a process that allows Montegrappa to create nuanced, lava-like textures, while eliminating much of the material and energy waste associated with conventional industrial acrylics.
- Adapting external design codes to the shape and functional demands of high-performance writing instruments requires special expertise and extensiveprototyping. The process of design and development for Montegrappa’s original The Lord of the Rings edition lasted more than two years.
- The Lord of the Rings: Doom is issued in limited collector’s editions of 137 fountain pens and 137 rollerballs.
