Design & Aesthetic

• Vibrant Materials: The barrel and cap are hand-turned from bright green marbled Auroloide—Aurora’s proprietary celluloid-like resin—designed to evoke the lush first growth of spring.

• Symbolic Detailing: A unique hallmark of this edition is the gold-plated clip engraved with two swallows in flight, a traditional symbol of spring’s arrival.
