The Caran d'Ache 849 Gold Ballpoint Pen takes one of Switzerland's most recognizable everyday writing instruments and gives it a distinctly elevated presence through a full gold-tone finish. While the underlying 849 platform remains rooted in functional industrial design, the monochromatic metallic treatment transforms the pen into something far more refined without sacrificing the practicality that made the model iconic.

Originally derived from the design language of Caran d'Ache's celebrated Fixpencil series, the 849 has become a benchmark for lightweight, reliable daily writing instruments. Its slim aluminum construction, hexagonal body, and dependable push-button mechanism have made it a longtime favorite among designers, students, professionals, and enthusiasts seeking durable Swiss-made functionality in a highly portable format.

Craftsmanship & Design

The lightweight aluminum body is finished entirely in brushed gold-tone plating, creating a sleek, uniform appearance that feels simultaneously modern and classic. The monochromatic treatment emphasizes the pen's geometric hexagonal architecture while giving the 849 a more luxurious visual character than the standard color variants.

Despite its minimalist proportions, the construction quality remains unmistakably Swiss. The tolerances throughout the body and mechanism are exceptionally precise, and the aluminum structure keeps the pen lightweight enough for effortless daily carry while still feeling reassuringly solid in hand.

The hexagonal profile also serves a practical role, preventing the pen from rolling across work surfaces while naturally guiding finger placement during writing.

Writing Experience

The 849 Gold Ballpoint Pen is fitted with Caran d'Ache's renowned Goliath refill, widely considered one of the finest standard ballpoint refills available. The refill delivers smooth, consistent ink flow with excellent longevity, providing a noticeably more refined writing experience than typical disposable ballpoint pens.

The lightweight construction allows the pen to remain comfortable during extended writing sessions, while the compact dimensions make it ideal for everyday portability in pockets, planners, notebook loops, or desk setups.

Brand Heritage

Founded in Geneva in 1915, Caran d'Ache has earned an international reputation for combining Swiss precision manufacturing with clean, highly functional design. The 849 remains one of the brand's most enduring creations, balancing affordability, durability, and recognizable industrial styling in a way few everyday writing instruments have managed to achieve.

The Gold variation introduces a more elevated visual identity to the classic platform while preserving the reliability and usability that continue to define the 849 series decades after its introduction.

Lovely
Color: Silver White - 02, Color: Silver White - 02
This is the best body glitter I have ever owned. I have a spray one and it is not as shiny as this one. This one has a very good appearance. It literally is shining so bright without the lights being off. This is one drop on my hand that I spread around, it does go on as a liquid and then it dries up and soak in your skin . From the bottle It has a very fresh scent like a very, very light scent, but when you put on your skin, it doesn’t smell like anything so you can still put on your regular perfume without worrying about mixing fragrances. It’s a good decent size especially considering I only did one drop and I get so much glitter!

Perfect Champagne Shimmer for Festivals & Events
Color: Champagne Gold - 01
Color- Champagne Gold shade. So cute! Get it! I always end up getting compliments when I wear this to festivals/concerts/event. It works great not just on your face but all over your body like arms, chest, shoulders, anywhere you want a little extra glow. It adds a really cute shimmer without being too extreme or over-the-top. I especially like wearing it to festivals or events where there are lots of lights or sunshine, because that’s when it really catches the light and looks the best. Once it dries, it has more of a matte finish with a soft shimmer rather than looking overly dewy or greasy. The champagne color blends really nicely with my neutral/tan skin tone, so it looks natural while still adding that fun sparkle. It’s a great little addition to any festival or event outfit. A little bit goes a long way. I’ve probably used this around 20 times already and still have at least half the bottle left. Another huge plus is that it washes off easily and doesn’t flake everywhere or leave glitter all over the floors and counters like some other body glitters I’ve tried. Overall, a great product if you want a subtle but noticeable shimmer! ✨
