Is a Mistral pen kit going to be available in Rose Gold? If so it would be on my "to buy" list.

Not for me I think, the current platings are quality, using different accents give the pens a classy look. Rose Gold .. nah, not for me

We have looked into it Richard. The Mistrals all have premium platings, with a high titanium or rhodium content, which makes them pretty much bomb-proof, but the company that does the plating can't produce the right sort of colour in a rose gold version. The samples they sent us were, well, very not-rose-gold, so we abandoned the idea.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I will have to abandon the idea as well.
