What does the Hippocratica colourway actually look like?
The Hippocratica pen pairs glossy black resin with a translucent burgundy-red section. The cap carries a broad palladium-coloured band inscribed HIPPOCRATICA in a Greek-key meander pattern, and narrow red accent rings appear at the transitions. The clip is solid 925 sterling silver cast by the ancient lost-wax method, shaped as the Rod of Asclepius, the universal symbol of medicine. The remaining metal fittings are plated with palladium.
The clip looks unusual — what is it, and what is it made from?
The clip replicates the Rod of Asclepius, the universal symbol of medicine. It is solid 925 sterling silver, cast by the ancient lost-wax method. This is not a plated finish over a base metal: the clip itself is sterling silver. The other metal fittings on the pen are palladium-plated, so the clip is the single component in a different metal.
What refill does the Hippocratica rollerball take, and what does Yafa stock as a replacement?
The Hippocratica rollerball takes standard international capped rollerball refills. When you need a replacement, Yafa stocks the Schmidt 888 Safety Ceramic Rollerball Refill (SC58111) as a compatible option. Name the standard when ordering from other sources, and confirm the format before purchasing.
What comes in the box?
The pen ships in a Maiora box with a custom pictorial outer sleeve showing Hippocrates. Inside alongside the pen you will find brand information, warranty documentation, and instructions.
Where is the Hippocratica made, and who is behind Maiora?
The pen is handcrafted in Naples, Italy. Maiora was established there in 2018 by Nino Marino, with a team whose collective experience in creating valuable writing instruments spans over 40 years. Yafa Brands is the official US distributor of Maiora.
