The Oxford 925 Sterling Silver Pencil
Where Every Great Idea Begins
"I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it."
— Vincent van Gogh
Every masterpiece begins with a single line.
Long before words are written in ink, ideas first appear as sketches, notes, calculations and possibilities. The mechanical pencil celebrates this moment of creation, allowing thoughts to evolve freely, to be refined, reconsidered and reshaped without hesitation. For generations, it has been the trusted companion of artists, architects, designers, writers and thinkers who understand that the creative process is rarely linear.
Handcrafted in England from solid 925 sterling silver, the Leathersmith Oxford Mechanical Pencil Collection combines timeless British craftsmanship with exceptional precision. Designed with a smooth twist-action mechanism, it uses 0.5mm HB lead and features an integrated eraser, offering accuracy, balance and effortless everyday practicality in a beautifully refined form.
Available in a polished Plain Finish or our signature Hand Engine-Turned Barleycorn Guilloché, every Oxford mechanical pencil is individually hallmarked by the historic Birmingham Assay Office before being presented in a luxury satin-lined Leathersmith gift box. Designed to accompany our journals, notebooks and diaries, it is a writing instrument that celebrates not only finished work, but every idea that comes before it.
Because every remarkable creation begins as a possibility.
And every possibility begins with a single line.
