Perfect for professionals and creatives eager to master elegant lettering styles and add a personalized artistic touch to their projects. ## Description Calligraphy contributed to the development of the modern day writing style. Today, calligraphy is commonly used for adding artistic touches to book/logo designs, signs, etc., as well as for many practical purposes such as writing certificates, wedding cards, for religious purposes, or simply as a form of art. The ultimate calligraphy set for the dedicated calligrapher of any level! Whether you are following the step by step instructions included or mastering your own calligraphy style, free your mind and your hand! This 33 piece deluxe pen set includes 4 calligraphy pens in assorted colors, 5 calligraphy nibs (extra fine, fine, medium, broad, extra broad), 20 water based dye ink cartridges (5 blue, 5 black, 2 brown, 2 pink, 2 green, 2 orange, 2 yellow), 1 metal pump (converter) for use with bottled ink, an easy to follow instruction book, a practice paper pad, and a portable metal storage tin to carry and store your set! 3 easy steps to filling your pen: Step 1: To insert your ink cartridge, gently unscrew the black nib of the calligraphy pen and put the cartridge (smaller opening end first) into the opening. Step 2: Hold the inserted ink cartridge against a strong surface, such as a table top, and press down firmly on the pen to force the cartridge to click into place. You will hear a click when the back of the pen nib pierces the cartridge. Step 3: Screw the nib back onto the pen and place the calligraphy pen upright for a period of around one minute, prior to use. Then gently press it onto a scrap piece of paper to start the ink flow – it should only take a couple of strokes for the ink to start flowing. You’re now ready to start writing! Review: I love fountain pens and script writing - Being older, I come from a time when most people did use a pen or pencil of some sort to write with (before computers!). I have played around with script fonts on my computer and thought it would be fun to learn and practice calligraphy. This set truly has everything you need - several different width nibs, several ink cartridges as well as four pens. The set also include a small booklet on starting out practicing calligraphy as well as a booklet of practice paper. I am having fun seeing how fancy I can make lettering in different colored inks. Craftspeople would love this, a parent or grandparent spending time with their child or grandchild might find this a nice activity, and last, but not least, those planning a wedding and wanting to learn a skill they could use making handmade invitations, table name cards, and the like - this would be a great kit to learn with! Review: This is a SOLID way to determine if calligraphy/lettering is for you. Well worth the price! - I held off on reviewing until I had a good grasp of this set & what it has to offer. Someone said "you got what you paid for" and that is largely true. Don't expect this set to be the answer to your dreams of mastering calligraphy and hand lettering. It won't be. But it is a good jumping off point that plunges you into that handwriting world? Yes! It gave me the time to play with different nibs, different ink colors and styles. It also makes you VERY appreciable of that first quality pen when you buy it! Playing with this set I didn't become a calligraphy superstar but I did learn which nib sizes work better for my handwriting and that's a great thing. Now I know which direction I want to go and what things I didn't like. I'm not bitter like some are over this set. It costs 1/2 or less than 1/2 of what a cheaper good quality name brand pen costs. This set taught me to control different nib sizes and set me on the paths to getting what I really want. Does ink get jammed? Yes. Is it frustrating? Yes. Does my journal look like Sybil made the entries? Sometimes. But it's a learning process. So yes, it's cheap but How Much Did You Pay? I think for the price, this is a solid way to determine if you really want to proceed or if it's not the "hobby" for you. That alone saves you a lot of $$. I appreciate this set for lighting a fire in me for more. All in all...Worth More Than I Paid!! ## Features - Calligraphy pen set in convenient, travel ready metal storage tin!

And if so, where do you buy additional cartridges?** A: You do not "have" to use cartridges. There is a bladder converter included. You can fill this in one of two ways, you can dip it into ink and squeeze the converter, let it expand to suck in the ink. The other way, which I use, is to have a syringe. Fill the syringe with ink, then use that to fill the converter. It's up to you. I also use the syringe method to refill the cartridges. **Q: Is the picture of the actual set or not. I have seen the same picture for other sets.** A: The picture is the actual set. **Q: It appears as though these nibs are of a gold tone, is this in fact the case?** A: Yes, they are yellow/gold in color, but they are made of brass. **Q: Does it have letter making guide our instructions?** A: An instruction booklet comes in the package. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love fountain pens and script writing *by C***N on April 24, 2020* Being older, I come from a time when most people did use a pen or pencil of some sort to write with (before computers!).

All in all...Worth More Than I Paid!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great For The Aspiring Scribe *by C***H on October 29, 2014* I've done calligraphy a lot over the years but I didn't want to buy a new pen with nibs and inks and things so I picked up this kit. I think most people would appreciate the pen assortment, nibs, and inks that are included in this kit, especially young beginners. There are lots of inks in several different colors and 5 nibs to work with giving the user a nice, rounded calligraphy set to start with. There is also a little booklet explaining a few alphabets and a small practice pad. The pens are good looking, but plastic and not of the highest standard making this kit good for basic calligraphers or beginners. The reason for the four stars on my review is because one of my pens is leaking ink. There are still three other pens that work great but one is a little faulty. Otherwise, I highly recommend this set for the basic calligrapher who practices or is learning letters or doodling with the set. It's not a professional pen or inks set, but it is a great basic kit and it's a lot of fun. I am going to get several more kits for Christmas presents because I think my kids would really enjoy this. The tin to keep the pens and inks in is nice and very organized. For the price, this is a great pen and ink set. **I've noticed over time that these pens have to be treated a little delicately. If you do give these pens to teens or kids, make sure you explain how to use them. If they push too hard or misuse these pens, they won't hold up. I didn't want to take a star off for this, but I did want to note that these pens will not hold up if they aren't treated well. They will stop working or leak. A delicate hand is definitely needed making this product a little tricky for a person just starting out. Make sure you teach whoever, to not push down and how to use the pen the proper way or they will be disappointed. This is probably due to the low cost of this product, making it a good choice for a starter, but the pens can't tolerate much abuse. ## Frequently Bought Together - STAEDTLER calligraphy pen set, ideal for all skill levels, 899 SM5, Assorted, 33 Piece Set - The Ultimate Guide to Modern Calligraphy & Hand Lettering for Beginners - Caligraphy Practice Paper/Workbook: Hand Lettering Workbook for Beginners --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1406996-calligraphy-pen-set-ideal-for-all-skill-levels-899-sm5](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1406996-calligraphy-pen-set-ideal-for-all-skill-levels-899-sm5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
