Humankind has  invented so many of them that no pens collector can have a complete  collection. The world’s most expensive pens are limited in number and  those who possess them can be called really lucky. Here’s the list of  these amazing pens that are not just writing instruments but a real  obsession for the rich.<img src="http://penscollection.com/images/stories/Mystery_Masterpiece.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Limited Edition Mystery Masterpiece, a joint creation between <a href="http://penscollection.com/pens/mont-blanc-pens.html" target="_blank">Mont blanc</a>  and Van Cleef & Arpels, is the most expensive writing pen ever  created. Can you imagine, it costs $730,000! This amazing pen is truly a  masterpiece of the jeweler's art. Each pen has 840 diamonds and more  than 20 carats of gemstones set in a Van Cleef & Arpels patented  "Mystery Setting" that conceals the stone settings. A groove is made on  the culet, the bottom facet of the stone, which is then slid onto the  threads of the lattice design so that the stones can be held in place  side by side without any visible support. There are three variations,  set either with rubies, sapphires or emeralds, and accented by diamonds.  The three variations of these marvelous pens are limited to three  releases each for a total of nine. The unique work took over a year and a  half to create by skilled artisans.<img src="http://penscollection.com/images/stories/La_Modernista_Diamonds.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Another  most expensive pen in the world is La Modernista Diamonds.
