Shannon Rollerball Pen – Handmade from Irish Burled Elm with Bright Chrome Trim

A timeless Irish gift of craftsmanship and heritage

Crafted from sustainably sourced Irish Burled Elm and finished with radiant bright chrome trim, the Shannon Rollerball Pen is a refined writing instrument that celebrates Irish heritage and natural beauty. The distinctive grain patterns and rich colouration in each piece of wood make every pen a true one-of-a-kind—crafted for those who appreciate tradition, quality, and thoughtful design.

Exceptional writing performance

This pen features a Swiss-made rollerball refill for smooth, reliable ink flow. Ideal for both professional and personal writing, the pen’s balanced weight and comfortable grip make it a pleasure to use. A spare refill is included, and standard-sized rollerball refills are available from leading stationers or directly from our website.

A sustainable Irish gift

No trees are felled to create our pens. We use only wind-fallen or salvaged Irish wood. Each pen sold supports native tree planting in Ireland through our partnership with the Tree Council of Ireland—ensuring that your gift not only honours tradition but also contributes to a greener future.

Complete luxury gift experience

• Presented in a luxurious satin-lined pen gift box inside a black velvet pouch
• A detailed digital fact sheet describing the wood and usage instructions is included
• We supply an extra Rollerball refill as our thanks for your support

Handmade oak finished pen gift box upgrade

For a truly distinguished presentation, upgrade to our handcrafted oak finished box—designed and made in our Kells workshop. Generously sized at 180mm x 116mm x 45mm, it features custom walnut rests to cradle one or two pens. The inner lid may be engraved for a personalised touch, making this box ideal for personal milestones or corporate gifts.

We also offer logo customisation for corporate orders—please get in touch for more details.

Handcrafted in Ireland’s heritage capital

Each pen takes approximately three days to complete using traditional hand tools. The wood used is individually selected from our collection of rare Irish Burled Elm—carefully turned and polished to highlight the grain’s natural character. Your pen will be handmade from the same species as shown, but no two pens will ever be exactly alike.

Sustainability in action: Our pens are refillable and built to last, helping reduce the billions of plastic biros sent to landfill each year.
