The Montblanc Wedding Pen was created as a tribute and [wedding gift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-jewellery-guide) to H.S.H. Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco, who were married on July 1, 2011. The pen was created by Montblanc worker Atelier Hamburg and contains extremely detailed designs that encircle the solid white gold fountain pen. "There is a very, very short moment, when you have the idea for the design," says Montblanc creative director Carlo Giordanetti. "It is like falling in love – you cannot plan or measure it, but you have to make it happen." The incredible 128 diamonds and 161 rubies in the Montblanc Wedding Pen are a special tribute to Monaco, whose flag colors are red and white. If that wasn't enough, the pen is very intricately engraved with a dove, rings and a crown, making it a true work of art. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Extravagant Writing Utensils:** Opportunity to create and market high-end, luxurious pens for special occasions and gifts. - **Customized Wedding Accessories:** Opportunity to design and produce personalized accessories like pens for weddings and other special events. - **Luxury Brand Collaborations:** Opportunity for luxury brands to collaborate and create limited edition, high-value products like the Montblanc Wedding Pen. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury goods companies can explore the market for extravagant writing utensils and customized wedding accessories. - **Event Planning:** Event planning companies can offer personalized, high-end accessories like customized pens to enhance special occasions. - **Jewelry:** Jewelry companies can collaborate with luxury pen manufacturers to incorporate precious gemstones and intricate designs into limited edition pens. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Dragon-Themed Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/montblanc-3.md) - [Miniature Heritage-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/montblanc-baby-pens.md) - [Anniversary Honoring Luxe Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meisterstck-x-olympic-heritage.md) - [Luxe Limited-Edition Fountain Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilema-sp3.md) - [Vintage Calligraphy Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meisterstck-great-masters-calligraphy.md) - [Luxurious Writing Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/writing-instruments.md) - [Filmmaker-Approved Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/montblanc-x-wes-anderson.md) - [Superhero Luxury Fountain Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superhero-fountain-pen.md) - [Elevated Ballpoint Pen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperlux-studio.md)
