The Hive pen range has been designed for those with a creative style, a handmade Irish gift that will travel with them on their journey, used daily, reminding them of the thoughtfulness of your present.

The rollerballs' lightweight design will rest easily in any sized hand, the antique brass honeycomb detailing, while distinctive, also ensures a master's touch when writing with the pen. The unique shape of the pen allows us to pay homage to the star of the show, the beautiful wood from which we have crafted this heirloom gift.

Inspired by the 200-year-old English Plane or London Plane tree that stands proudly near the Book of Kells Experience in the grounds of Trinity College Dublin. To pay homage to the tree and the Book of Kells (which was safely cared for in our town of Kells from the 800s to the mid-1600s, when it was moved to Trinity College Dublin for safekeeping), we have made this pen with English Plane wood, which has a very exotic, distinctive grain pattern and beautiful orangey tea brown colour.

The Hive rollerball pen is designed for convenience and longevity, featuring an internationally standard-sized rollerball refill. Easily available in leading stationery stores worldwide and online, finding a replacement refill is effortless. Enjoy a smooth, uninterrupted writing experience with a luxury pen that lasts a lifetime.

Sustainability is high on everyone's agenda. By using one of our handmade pens and only replacing the refill, you help the environment by not contributing to the billions of plastic biros that go to landfills yearly.

In a world where true individuality stands out, make your mark with a personalized engraving on your pen. Our expert engraving service transforms your Hive rollerball pen into a unique keepsake, perfect for gifting or personal use.
