Parker Sonnet Ballpoint Pen | Blue Lacquer with Palladium Trim | Medium Point Black Ink | Gift Box

Beautiful pen presented in a lovely box.

Bought this for the wife as an Xmas gift (she's a teacher) she loves a good pen and this hits the spot! Would buy again

A lovely writer, very pleased with it. Fast delivery.

I bought this to replace a rather loved pen and it has been a good choice. The colour is lovely and it’s a good quality item that writes beautifully. The only caveat is that it is on the small side so probably more suited to ladies but I’m happy with my purchase.

A lovely pen, good quality. Happy with my purchase

Stylish and a beautiful writer.

I can resist anything except temptation! A few years ago, a posh Parker ballpoint that I'd inherited from my Dad fell apart in my hand, and I've missed it ever since. Seeing this red lacquer Sonnet going for £61, I finally gave in to my craving to replace my favourite pen with one very similar to it. The Sonnet ballpoint is almost exactly the same size as a Parker jotter, so if you're happy writing with one of those, upgrading to its deluxe cousin won't cause you any discomfort. The main difference in the feel of the Sonnet compared to a jotter is the extra weight that comes from its using brass instead of plastic. Its French-manufactured metal construction gives it an agreeable feeling of substance—I'd be surprised if its twist mechanism didn't turn out to be durable. Of course, some people would say that spending more than a tenner for a pen is silly, and I can't imagine ever paying the kind of price asked by Mont Blanc, for example. But it seems to me that this Sonnet ballpoint is a very happy compromise between the claims of economy and beauty, not least because its compatibility with Parker's gel refills means that it can produce writing almost indistinguishable from a fountain pen's. Warmly recommended.

The perfect graduation gift! Recipient delighted with.

Writes very well and of good heft. Buy a Sonnet not the IM series.

I bought this to gift it to my daughter and when I saw the Pen and Signed my name it was a Keeper. I had to get her another gift and this pen after Use goes back into the Box in which it came. Very well made Writing Instrument.

I had been considering the Parker Sonnet Cisele Ballpoint Pen for a long time and finally decided to buy it recently. I can now say it has met my expectations. It is solidly built, absolutely gorgeous to look at, and writes surprisingly well with the included Parker Quink refill. I had seen older versions with chrome trim, but now that I have this one with gold trim I am quite pleased with it. My only suggestion for Parker is to someday come out with a slightly larger pen with the Cisele design, as the Sonnet is just barely big enough for me. Otherwise highly recommended.

Bloedmooi afgewerkt en discreet. De massief gouden pen bedekt met palladium. Dat is nog eens iets anders dan een vergulde stalen pen! Ongekend licht, soepel, zacht en nauwkeurig schrijvend. De inkttoevoer is heel regelmatig. De F is nu eens een écht fijne punt. Kreeg hem geleverd mét converter — uiteraard leeg — en los twee patronen erbij. Wel zo prettig: liever geen aangebroken patroon die alleen maar tot uitgedroogde inkt in het kanaal leidt. Ik schrijf met de dop op de achterkant geschoven.
