🌌 The Glow Ups Cigar Pen: One‑of‑a‑Kind Acrylic Masterpiece

Meet The Glow Ups, a one‑of‑a‑kind Cigar‑Style pen that brings the magic of the aurora borealis to life — even in the dark. This extraordinary writing instrument is handcrafted by Gayle Akerman using an innovative casting process that blends vibrant acrylic resin cast‑offs into a glowing, luminous work of art.

Yes, it really glows in the dark. The colors you see in daylight transform into a radiant neon shimmer when the lights go out, making this pen a true showstopper from sunrise to starlight.

🎨 Mesmerizing Color, Glow & Design
The Glow Ups is a celebration of color, light, and playful creativity. Swirls of fiery orange, cosmic green, electric yellow, and deep red dance together in a marbled pattern that feels alive — and then it reveals its secret glow when darkness falls.

Gayle’s new casting technique ensures that no two pens will ever be alike, making this Cigar Pen a truly unique piece of functional art.

Mish‑Mash Trim: The hardware is a delightful blend of salvaged trim pieces, creating a quirky, eclectic look that perfectly complements the pen’s vibrant personality.

Unique Shape: Carefully turned into a fun, eye‑catching silhouette that’s fancy, functional, and full of character. It’s a standout desk accessory that brings joy and artistry to your everyday writing.
