Yard O Led

Year of the Firehorse

With the Year of the Fire Horse upon us, Yard-O-Led continues its storied Zodiac series with a 126-piece limited edition in sterling silver adorned with the house's signature techniques.

Inspiration

Inspired by the zodiac's untamed energy, the edition celebrates the dynamism, allure, and characteristic wilderness of the Fire Horse. The central motif – a horse in full stride – is meticulously presented, stretching from the cap all the way to the body with its form dissolving into trailing “flames”, a nod to the Horse’s fiery spirit.

Design & Materials

Handcrafted in Yard-O-Led’s workshop, each instrument bears countless individual chasing marks executed entirely by hand – a long-treasured hallmark of the British maker’s identity. Additional details include a single red gemstone set into the clip, symbolising renewal and strength, complemented by a hammered section that fades towards the end of the sterling silver barrel, as well as a finial engraved with galloping horses and finished with black enamel inlay. The pen is fitted with an 18-carat gold nib, available in fine, medium, or broad.

Writing Experience

Weighing 64g of silver, the pen feels substantial in the hand, a detail appreciated by most enthusiasts. Despite its weight, the writing experience remains comfortable throughout. Each piece is individually numbered, with only 126 produced worldwide – making it a special addition for collectors or those seeking a unique and meaningful writing companion in 2026.
