Very pretty! I have a blue diamond, and I’ve got mixed feelings about it. I didn’t like the feeling of the fine nib it shipped with. I ordered a medium nib and it feels much better to write with. When you say you love the ribs, I assume you’re talking about the grip. That’s actually one of the things I don’t like. Possibly due to the way I hold the pen, I find it becomes uncomfortable to hold sure to the ribs digging into my fingers after a while. If I could find a replacement for the grip, I think I would use it more. I also find the screw cap makes it less appealing to use at work, compared to a snap on cap.
On the other hand, it’s beautiful, holds a huge amount of ink, they sell replacement nibs, comes with a set of tools and silicon grease to maintain it, and is decently priced for what it is. Also comes in a range of really nice colours.

Anyway, enough about me. Enjoy your new pen!!
