The BENU Talisman Venus's Hair fountain pen channels the gleam of rutilated quartz, pairing warm brown resin with golden shimmer for a look that stands out without trying too hard. Stylish and practical in equal measure, it brings character to everyday notes, lists, and journal pages.
Craftsmanship & Design
Hand-polished resin reveals shifting brown and gold tones that evoke the stone long nicknamed Venus's hair. BENU's gently faceted profile helps resist rolling on the desk, while the metal clip provides easy pocket carry. The sculptural silhouette and bright finish make it a pleasure to pick up and use.
Writing Experience
A stainless steel nib offers smooth, dependable ink flow with minimal maintenance. Choose fine, medium, or broad to match your handwriting style. The standard international cartridge/converter format keeps ink options flexible and refilling straightforward. Lightweight balance makes longer writing sessions comfortable.

This is a beautiful pen. The glitter is well spaced and breathtaking in bright light. The fine nib is wet (my preference) and very smooth out of the box. I couldn’t be happier!
I ordered the Venus hair as it was an exclusive. Got hit hard with additional taxes because I live in Europe.
I ordered the Benu Talosman with a Schmidt fine nib. It did need some work as it was a bit on the dry side even with Diamine Oxblood in it. It wrote more like an Extra fine Schmidt nib. I have one to compare it to. After I got it to write wetter it is more like a fine now. It should come out of the box like that considering the price point, but it didn´t.
The pen comes with a sheet stating it is a an exclusive. It only states limited t o 300 on the website. Not on the sheet. I also couldn´t find a number print on the pen, which would have been nice for an exclusive to state the limited number somewhere.It felt less exclusive for me.
I do like the shape of it. The resin feels nice in its finish. Benu does state a lifetime warranty. Not sure if it applies to posting and possible scratches from posting. It does post, but is a bit wombly.
The pattern looks good but in some parts it is just blotches of glitter.
The cap comes off in 2 and a half turns, which is tolerable for me. We have more snap cap pens in Europe, which I prefer.The pen came with a cartridge and a converter.I use the converter and it does not leak. The clip works well and has a tiny indenture so that it won´t scratch the resin too much, which is nice.
I contacted Truphae after I placed my order and they happily answered my questions. Great customer care. It arrived without any damages and is packed very securely.
3 and a half stars for me. Rounded up to 4 for the nib I had to work on a little bit, blotchy glitter in some spots, not stating the number of the limited edition anywhere, other than the website and massive taxes for Europeans. For what I have paid in total I am not too far off their hand painted versions on the Benu website.I´ll keep it but wouldn´t buy it again in case it gets lost.
This pen is absolutely gorgeous and writes beautifully. I wasn't attracted to the Benu pens at first, I thought they were to sparkly. But when I saw this one I just fell in love with it and OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE it. It is so beautiful and writes incredibly well. I have it inked with Diamine Cocoa shimmer and it is a perfect match. I love the feel of the pen and it fits in my hand perfectly. I wish I could attach photos to this review!
I bought this pen a few weeks ago, and am absolutely in love with it. It’s so striking, and the colors in the pen are beautiful.
Beautiful Benu. And arrived so quickly -love it
