Celtic Knot Ballpoint Pen in Burled Irish Elm – Heritage & Sustainability Combined
Give a gift that honours both tradition and sustainability. The Celtic Knot Ballpoint Pen, handcrafted from rare Burled Irish Elm, is a celebration of Irish craftsmanship, heritage, and environmental responsibility.
This striking pen features intricate Celtic knotwork in antique brass, crowned with a vivid emerald-coloured cabochon – a nod to Ireland’s rich cultural tapestry. The burled grain pattern of the Irish-grown Elm is wild, beautiful, and entirely unique, making each pen a one-of-a-kind creation.
More than a writing instrument, this pen is a story – rooted in Irish history and shaped by nature. By choosing a refillable, handmade pen over a disposable plastic biro, you're supporting sustainability and the preservation of traditional Irish woodworking.

Crafted Sustainably in Ireland
Each pen is made by hand in our workshop in Kells, inspired by the legendary Book of Kells. By choosing this pen, you're giving a gift that’s as environmentally thoughtful as it is culturally meaningful.
A Complete Luxury Gift Experience
Each pen is housed in a satin-lined luxury case and sheathed in a plush black velvet pouch, offering a refined unboxing experience worthy of its heritage. This saves you the cost of gift wrapping!
Accompanying each pen is a detailed fact sheet, accessible via a discreet QR link on a card included with the pen. The fact sheet offers insights into the pen’s craftsmanship, the story of the Burled Elm, and care instructions, enriching the gifting experience for the recipient.

The Celtic Knot Burled Elm pen was even more beautiful when it arrived than its picture. The scrollwork is stunning. Richard & Catherine have a wonderful selection of pens, and I am certain I will be a returning customer. Ordering and shipping were simple and went smoothly. Thank You!
Hi Dennis,
Thank you for your review, it really means a lot to us, a happy customer makes us happy pen turners. Richard
I cannot praise Richard and his team enough for their utterly beautiful pens. This is the third time I ordered one for my niece who became a doctor and it will for sure not be the last one: the pens are are so beautiful and Richard and team are also keeping their handcraft so sustainable which I think is so important today. The customer service is first class treatment and very personal which is rare to find these days. I cannot recommend enough!!!
Hi Kristina, thank you for your kind words, we are so happy the gift delivered on your expectations. We do our best to ensure we our clients are happy with the pens and our service. Thank you again and we look forward to working with you again. Richard
I would like to thank Richard and his crew for the amazing pens which they create. This is my second purchase and it probably won't be my last. These pens are a one off and made to order.
I placed the order and received the pen 4 days later.
Richard contacted me on 2 occasions to keep me up to date on my purchase.
I would very highly recommend Irish Pens to anyone who wants a spectacular gift for someone special or even if they want to spoil themselves.
Finally, Thanks again.
