Colombo Jewellery Stores (CJS), Colombo’s premier jewellers reputed for exquisite and unique pieces of jewellery since 1922 has been appointed the exclusive authorised agent for Visconti – a name that for the past two decades has been synonymous for writing instruments of extraordinary beauty.
The fountain pens, rollers and ballpoint pens by Visconti make up a wide range of high quality instruments. Blending ancient models along with a modernistic flare, Visconti writing instruments reveal the brand’s love for history and their craftsmen’s undying zeal for innovation. Visconti pens are immediately recognisable from their unforgettable shades of colour and design and the development of increasingly more sophisticated systems.
“Visconti has some of the finest writing instruments in the world, and we are proud to be their exclusive authorised agent in Sri Lanka. Each instrument is sophisticated and crafted using an attractively vintage, yet modern feel to it that appeals to anyone who has a taste for beauty,” said Akram Cassim, CEO, CJS.
Every pen witnesses art, archaeology, philosophy, mathematics, literature, history or current events, and much more than that. Some of Visconti’s inspiring themes include the Forbidden City, the ancient knights, the Alchemical Opus, but also Manhattan and Giacomo Casanova. Visconti’s limited edition fountain pens are also ‘not-to-be-missed’ items. Perfect for a deluxe jewellers’ collection, they embody some of the most significant themes of the past and current history and praise brilliant inventions. The use of celluloid, i.e. “gold for the pen specialists”, is a distinguishing feature of Visconti collections as is the Visconti clip, representing a bridge as a symbol of friendship and union between people. Colombo Jewellery Stores was inaugurated on 6 February 1922 by its founder Thaha Cassim. Since 1922 they have built an admirable reputation for high quality precious stones and jewellery. CJS jewellery are artistic heirlooms that double as display pieces, showcasing elements of skilled craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology. CJS’ wondrous designs are coveted by customers in Sri Lanka and around the world. CJS is located at No 1, Alfred House Gardens, Colombo 3; Crescat Boulevard; Galle Face Hotel, Odel and the Dutch Hospital, Fort.
