Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right Aurora pen? +
To choose the right Aurora pen, first pick the model line that resonates most, because that decision determines the nib, the filling system, and the price point. If it’s your first Aurora, the standard Aurora Ipsilon is the usual starting point, with a resin body that gives you the brand's feel without the flagship outlay. It is available as a ballpoint, rollerball, or fountain pen. Move up to the Optima for a piston filler, and the 88 if you want the crown jewel of Aurora fountain pens.
What's the difference between the Aurora Optima and 88? +
The main difference in these Aurora pens is shape and size. The Aurora 88 pen is the round, cigar-shaped icon, essentially unchanged since 1947 and the larger of the two. The Aurora Optima is the flat-topped, art-deco sibling: about 15mm shorter capped but the same girth, wearing a signature wide Greek-key center band, and it posts deep enough that people call it "an 88 you can slip in a pocket." Under the hood they're twins, both piston fillers with the same in-house 14K gold nib, and both hide Aurora's clever ink reserve that buys you a page or two past "empty." So it comes down to feel: big hands, or write with the cap posted? Lean 88. Want that same Aurora quality in a more portable body? The Optima's your pen.
Do Aurora fountain pens use a gold or steel nib? +
Aurora’s entry-level, everyday pens use steel nibs, while their higher-tier lines use gold. The standard Ipsilon and Style models come with steel nibs, while the Optima and 88 both step up to a 14K gold nib (Aurora offers an 18K upgrade on select Optima and 88 editions). Aurora makes all its nibs and feeds entirely in-house in Turin, Italy, where the company has built them since it was founded in 1919.
Do Aurora fountain pens use cartridges or a converter? +
Aurora fountain pens use one of three systems, depending on the model: a built-in piston, a cartridge, or a converter. The Aurora 88 and Optima are piston fillers that draw ink straight from a bottle, while the Ipsilon and Style require a cartridge or a converter. Aurora uses its own proprietary cartridge and converter rather than the standard international size, so reach for Aurora cartridges or the Aurora screw-in converter if you'd rather use bottled ink.
What are Aurora nibs like to write with? +
Aurora nibs are firm, and they write with a distinct feedback rather than a glassy glide. You can feel a little of the paper through the nib, which gives many owners the impression of pencil-like control, while some characterize the fine and extra-fine nibs as being on the scratchy side. If you like a precise, controlled line, Aurora’s firm nib is calling your name.
What refills do ballpoint and rollerball Aurora pens use? +
Aurora ballpoint and rollerball pens use Aurora refills in the common Parker-style and standard capped rollerball formats. Because those are common sizes, third-party refills in the same format will generally fit, though Aurora's own refills are designed specifically for and matched to their pens.
Does Aurora make limited edition pens? +
Yes, Aurora is known for its limited and special editions, usually built on the Optima, 88, and 888 and dressed in Auroloide colors and finishes you won't see in the standard lineup, most of them individually numbered. These are the ones collectors watch the calendar for, so if you love catching a release before it's gone, start with our Aurora limited editions and check back often.
What is Auroloide? +
Auroloide is Aurora's own material, made in-house at the Turin factory. Think of it as a modern take on classic celluloid: the same depth and warmth, but as a more stable, hard-wearing cellulose acetate. What you notice is the light play, a pearlescent, semi-translucent marbling that shifts and glows as you turn the pen, the kind of depth flat resin can't fake. You'll find it on the Optima and 88 lines and the limited editions, but not on the everyday Ipsilon and Aurora Style pens, which use standard resin and lacquered or decorative finishes instead.
