Aurora 88 Nebulosa | Pen Précis

I’ve been reviewing/talking about Aurora Pens a lot lately. It’s no secret I’m a big fan of a lot of their pens. This pen, however, may be my favorite of all the Aurora pens I’ve tried/talked about/purchased. When I first saw a picture of the Aurora 88 Nebulosa, I knew that this pen needed to be in my collection, and I did something I have almost never done before: I pre-ordered it.

Like the Sole limited edition from the year before, the 88 Nebulosa is a limited edition run of 888 pens. This time, it is made with the most perfectly gorgeous purple auroloide material. A lot of purple materials for pens tend to lean toward the pastel side, being lighter, with more a reddish undertone. This is a deep, rich violet material. It’s more of a blue-purple than a red-purple and is loaded with shimmer and depth. I think it’s one of the most stunning materials I’ve seen in fountain pendom. It’s also highlighted throughout the pen with rose gold trim rather than yellow gold, which I think lends a very classy air to the whole look.

Aside from the material, this pen is pretty much like your standard Aurora 88. It’s well-made, very comfortable in the hand, nicely balanced, and has one of the best piston mechanisms on the market today. The nib is perfectly adjusted, and on this particular pen, a touch smoother and wetter than other Aurora nibs I’ve used in the past.  (This one is 18k as opposed to the 14k nibs I have on my other Auroras, which may account for the slight difference in ink flow.)

For a more in-depth review of the 88, you can see my review from the beginning of the season for the Aurora 88 Sole and the Aurora 88 Anniversario.
