Diamond Tamenuri 鑽石-塗溜

Discover the artistry of tradition with the Cathay Pens Diamond, a writing instrument that embodies the elegance of hand-finished Urushi lacquer. Crafted in Luoyang—China’s ancient capital and a historic hub of fine craftsmanship—each pen is meticulously lacquered by master artisans using the Tamenuri technique. This process layers translucent colored lacquer over a dark base, allowing the color to deepen and evolve beautifully with time.

The Diamond's distinctive 9-facet design highlights the depth and character of the Tamenuri finish, perfectly showcasing the interplay of color and light across each carefully polished surface.

Each pen is presented in a refined package, including a hand-sewn silk fabric pouch and a walnut wood box that doubles as a display case for two or three pens—ideal for collectors and connoisseurs. Blending heritage with design, the Cathay Pens Diamond is more than a pen—it’s a celebration of timeless artistry.
