At Spark Nibs®, we believe that true craftsmanship lies in control over every aspect of production. Our entire process is conducted in-house to guarantee perfection in every nib.

Gold blank formation - each nib begins as a precisely cut 18kt gold sheet, shaped with exacting standards.

Shaping & polishing - the nib is carefully shaped to refine its contours, enhancing both its aesthetic and functional properties.

Flex calibration - thickness and alloy composition are finely tuned to create the perfect balance of resilience and responsiveness.

Stringent testing & quality control - every nib undergoes multiple stages of testing, ensuring smooth writing performance, optimal ink flow, and long-term durability.
