Celtic Knot Ballpoint Pen – Handcrafted from Irish Bog Oak with Antique Brass Trim & Emerald Cabochon
Celebrate Ireland’s ancient heritage through art and craftsmanship. The Celtic Knot Ballpoint Pen is hand-turned from genuine 5,000-year-old Irish Bog Oak, one of the world’s rarest timbers. This pen features intricate Celtic Knot scrollwork on the tip and clip, finished with an emerald-coloured cabochon on the cap—symbolising the spirit of pride, courage, and interconnectedness.
Crafted in Kells – Rooted in Celtic Tradition
Each pen is made in our workshop in Kells, County Meath, the heritage capital of Ireland. The Celtic Knot motif, dating back to the 5th century, is beautifully cast in antique brass, making this pen a meaningful piece of Irish culture.
Our Bog Oak is treated with a special oil formula developed by a master sculptor, which protects the wood’s natural tone and allows its rich texture and character to shine through.
Holding something over 5,000 years old every day is a rare privilege—and now, a giftable one.
A Complete Luxury Gift Experience
Each pen is presented in a satin-lined luxury case with a plush black velvet pouch and includes a QR-linked digital fact sheet, detailing the significance of Irish Bog Oak, the Celtic knot symbolism, and care instructions.
Precision and Purpose
Equipped with a Swiss-made Parker-style ballpoint refill, this pen offers smooth, high-quality writing with global refill compatibility. It’s designed to be both beautiful and reliable.
Sustainable, Symbolic Gifting
This refillable pen is an eco-conscious alternative to disposable plastic biros—offering style, sustainability, and symbolism in one refined writing instrument.
Whether for a personal gift, a heritage keepsake, or a corporate presentation, the Celtic Knot Pen is as meaningful as it is unique.

I brought this pen for a close family member for her 50th Birthday.
She teaches at secondary school level, so uses pen regularly.
She contacted me and told me it was "beautiful, very special" and that it was so smooth to touch. Also that it was a lovely writer.
10 out of 10 for choice and
10 out of 10 for craftsmanship.
When I discussed the present with Richard he was extremely professional, helpful and friendly.

Hand writen letters are still something that I treasure. |I have always gifted my nephews on their 18th with a special pen. I wanted the same for my cousins son for his 18th. Handcrafted and engraved made it more specialand it was lovely to meet Richard who crafts these pens and see his passion Long may it continue
I got this gift for my mother, she left Ireland over 30 years and while she has been home many times I thought this pen in bog oak would be the perfect gift for her and how right I was, she loves it and uses it every day, her little bit of home she calls it. Great work guys, your pen was a real hit this side of the pond.
Thanks Hanna for your review, a great story and it's feedback like this that keeps us going. Hopefully when you or your mother gets back to Ireland next we can have a cup of tea or coffee together. Richard
