Yard-O-Led Ambassador Barley-Wave Ballpoint Pen

The Yard-O-Led Ambassador Barley-Wave Ballpoint Pen is a masterclass in understated elegance and British silversmithing. Handmade from solid sterling silver, this refined writing instrument was originally launched in 1994 and remains one of Yard-O-Led’s most substantial ballpoint designs. Weighing just over 43 grams with a 10 mm diameter, the Ambassador offers a satisfying, weighty feel in the hand—perfectly balanced for those who appreciate precision and poise in every line they write.

Its surface features the new Barley-Wave pattern, a subtle, engine-turned design revived from historic pattern bars discovered in the Yard-O-Led workshop archives. The result is a pen that bridges tradition and modern craftsmanship—a collector’s piece with a contemporary spirit. Each pen is individually numbered, finished with the classic Yard-O-Led clip, and hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office as a mark of its authenticity and sterling pedigree.
