Platinum Curidas Stones Labradorite: a limited edition inspired by precious stones
The Platinum Curidas pairs the convenience of a retractable ballpoint with the smooth writing of a Japanese fountain pen. Press the button and the nib extends, ready to write; press it again and it retracts safely inside the barrel. No cap, no fuss.
The Curidas Stones series is a limited edition celebrating 60 years since Platinum's first retractable fountain pen, launched in 1965. It comes in three colors inspired by precious stones, with an iridescent pearl finish that changes shade with the angle and the light.
The Labradorite color
The Labradorite shade is inspired by this gemstone of shifting reflections. On the pen, the iridescent pearl finish moves between a shimmering teal blue and purple-pink glints depending on how the light hits it, for a natural, dynamic effect.
Why you'll love it
- Limited, collectible edition: a commemorative series limited to 3,000 pieces worldwide.
- Instant writing: one click and you're ready, perfect for quick notes or signing documents, even with one hand full.
- Iridescent pearl finish: a color that changes with the light and makes it look new every time you look at it.
- Airtight internal seal: instead of a cap, a well-sealed chamber protects the nib and keeps the ink from drying out between uses.
- Long, slim nib: it gives you a clear view of the nib tip and the line on the paper as you write.
- Compact, removable clip: a natural, flexible grip, and if you prefer you can take it off with the tool included.
- Platinum stainless steel nib, available in fine (F) or medium (M).
A name with a story
"Curidas" combines curiosity with the Japanese word kuridasu, meaning "to extend", a nod to the nib that extends with every click. It comes from Platinum Pen Co., founded in Japan in 1919 by Shunichi Nakata. The Curidas revives, 55 years later, the spirit of the brand's first retractable pen from 1965.
