Some beautiful pens are in this thread already, but my votes is for the Eversharp Skyline. Of course, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

 

+1

 

My preference is for plain colours and plstic caps - IMH(?)O this really brings out the brilliance of design of the shape of the pen.

The best-looking pen I've seen is the Visconti "Arte Mudejar." The best-looking pen I own is my Pelikan M400 "Honey Almond." I'm clearly partial toward white-colored pens!

Not in any order/rank...

 

Omas paragon in the Arco celluloid... specifically the brown. Nakaya. Entirely too many options to mention just one, but I really like the simple clipless piccolo in aka tamenuri (and the aged version of it is beautiful as well)... and that's not even getting into the makie ones I would be afraid to even use: each one is a superb work of art... and the most recent Edison urushi project. Ah, if only I'd had the $... the mina with such a gorgeous finish...

 

For me, those are my most wanted and beautiful pens. One day I hope to own an arco and a Nakaya in the aka tamenuri.

 

Best looking pen I own are the Stipula Etruria FPN, and the Visconti Desert Falls (non LE, same material as the Desert Springs).

I'm far to fickle about pens to choose a most beautiful. I tend to move from one fountain pen family to another. Thus my pen boxes project a slide show of my travels.

 

There was the Pelikan period where I was seduced by the long arching nib of the M1000 and the simple beauty of the M800 demonstrator. The Conway Stewart period in which I immersed myself in the colors and designs. Bexley caught my eye and left we with a Scheherazade. My Italian phase in which I gathered bright, happy, celluloid pens. There have been several Japanese jaunts. I found Platinum, then Pilot's high end pens, followed by the Pilot M90s. Then there was the Nakaya fling which may not be entirely sated. More recently back to England for the Victorian Yard-O-Led. I just dropped some money over the weekend on some vintage Sheaffers.

 

When it comes to fountain pens, I seem to fall in love easily and often.

The most beautiful pen for me is my Aurora Optima Auroloide Blue pen with gold nib and trim. Sorry, my camera is hor de combat so I can't post a pic right now.My next and maybe just as beautiful is also an Aurora...the Aurora Optima Auroloide Cardinal Red with gold nib and trim. Guess I am stuck on Italian pens! :thumbup:

Since there are, no doubt, thousands of gorgeous pens I've never seen, I'm gonna change the subject of my reply to Most Beautiful Pen I Have Ever Seen That I Have a Snowball's Chance in Hell of Ever Owning. This would be a Namaya aka-tamenuri decapod, of course. I love that red urishi enamel and will not be content until I own one. ;)

Since I started buying, using and collecting pens, I've wanted a Metropolitan Museum of Art Tiffany Pine Bough FP, and I was recently very lucky to pick one up at a very reasonable price from the Classified section. :bunny01:

Website does not do their pens justice - Na Troyka Palekh pens - incredibly beautiful in person. Chance of owning one = chance of winning lottery.

 

Most beautiful I own? Sheaffer Imperial, black with gold. Understated and timeless. Runners up in the ring my chimes category are W-E Skyline and Parker 50 Falcon.

To me, functionality and usability are part of what makes a fountain pen beautiful. So I would have say that, for me, it's the Pelikan M640 "Polar Lights":
