The Loiminchay Mandarin Limited Edition Purple Jade Clip Fountain Pen represents one of the rarest and most elusive creations from a brand that built its reputation on exclusivity, precious materials, and uncompromising craftsmanship. Produced as part of the celebrated Mandarin series, this extraordinary edition combines Loiminchay's distinctive oversized writing instrument design with one of the most sought-after appointments ever offered by the company: the Purple Jade clip. Limited to only eight fountain pens worldwide, the Purple Jade variant occupies a unique position within the hierarchy of Loiminchay collectibles and is seldom encountered on the secondary market.

For experienced collectors, the significance of this pen extends well beyond its production numbers. While Loiminchay produced several jade clip variations over the years, the Purple Jade version has developed a particularly strong reputation due to its extreme scarcity and the difficulty collectors face when attempting to assemble complete jade clip sets. As a result, examples rarely change hands publicly, and many remain in long-established collections.

Craftsmanship & Design

The Mandarin series was conceived as a celebration of traditional Chinese artistic influences interpreted through modern luxury penmaking. The pen's substantial proportions immediately distinguish it from conventional writing instruments, creating a commanding presence that reflects the philosophy behind many of Loiminchay's most ambitious creations.

At the center of this edition is the Purple Jade clip, the defining feature that elevates the pen from a rare limited edition to a highly desirable collector piece. Throughout Chinese history, jade has occupied a position unlike any other gemstone. Revered for thousands of years, it has been associated with wisdom, virtue, prosperity, and status. Purple jade is especially significant due to its relative rarity and distinctive coloration, making it one of the most visually striking materials ever incorporated into the Mandarin collection.

Rather than functioning as a decorative accent alone, the jade clip serves as the focal point of the design. Its rich coloration provides a dramatic contrast against the body of the pen while reinforcing the collection's broader connection to Chinese artistic traditions. The use of genuine jade reflects Loiminchay's longstanding commitment to integrating precious materials into its most exclusive editions rather than relying solely on precious metals or surface decoration.

The Mandarin's generous dimensions further contribute to its visual identity. Large without feeling excessive, the pen was designed to provide an expansive canvas for luxury materials and decorative execution. This sense of scale became one of the defining characteristics of the series and remains an important part of its appeal among collectors today.

The Legacy of Loiminchay

During its most active years, Loiminchay established a reputation for creating writing instruments that often blurred the line between functional objects and luxury art pieces. The company's limited editions regularly featured rare materials, intricate craftsmanship, and production quantities that were remarkably small even by luxury pen standards.

Unlike larger manufacturers that produced collector editions in the hundreds or thousands, Loiminchay frequently operated on a far more intimate scale. This approach allowed the company to pursue ambitious projects incorporating precious stones, exotic materials, and highly specialized decorative elements that would have been impractical in larger production runs.

The Mandarin series became one of the clearest expressions of that philosophy. Combining oversized proportions with exceptional materials, it represented the company's willingness to prioritize artistry, exclusivity, and collector appeal above mainstream commercial considerations.

Writing Experience

Despite its collector status, the Mandarin was designed first and foremost as a serious writing instrument. The substantial dimensions create a comfortable and stable writing platform, particularly for those who appreciate larger fountain pens. The size allows the pen to rest naturally in the hand while providing a reassuring sense of balance during extended writing sessions.

The 18k gold nib delivers the expressive writing experience expected from a luxury writing instrument of this caliber, while the overall construction reflects the attention to detail that defined Loiminchay's finest creations. Every component was intended to complement the pen's role as both a functional tool and an object of lasting significance.

For many collectors, the Mandarin's appeal lies in this dual identity. It remains fully capable as a writing instrument while simultaneously serving as a showcase for materials and craftsmanship rarely encountered in contemporary pen production.

Collector Significance

Within the world of modern luxury writing instruments, rarity alone does not guarantee desirability. What makes the Purple Jade Mandarin particularly compelling is the convergence of several factors: an edition size of only eight pieces, a highly sought-after jade clip variation, a celebrated Loiminchay platform, and the increasing difficulty of locating examples in collector-grade condition.

Collectors familiar with the Mandarin series often regard the jade clip editions as among the most important releases produced by the brand. Among those variants, Purple Jade occupies an especially elevated position due to its scarcity and visual distinction. Opportunities to acquire one have become increasingly infrequent as examples disappear into established collections and remain there for years.

As a result, the Loiminchay Mandarin Limited Edition Purple Jade Clip Fountain Pen stands as more than a rare writing instrument. It represents a period in luxury penmaking when ambitious materials, exceptionally small production runs, and collector-focused design converged to create objects that continue to command attention decades after their introduction.

Unpredictable bounces
Size: Small, Size: Small
My 3-year old Cavapoo loves these little toys, although I haven’t given them to her all at once. Typically, she is able to chew a little hole in anything with a squeaker within hours. The first one I gave her, it took her more than a day to chew off a little ear, but she still love to play with it. The second one is completely intact after more than a week. What both of us like is that the shapes with tiny nubs make the toys bounce unpredictably. They are small and light-weight which makes them easy to throw in the house without doing any damage. I am careful to not throw them at the TV or delicate items. I’ll actually buy them again when she needs more toys. EDIT 3/19/2026: It’s 3.5 months since I first wrote about these toys. Tater is playing with all four critters. It’s a miracle that all of them are intact and squeaking! Even the one with an ear missing squeaks as long as I cover the little hole. I just added all of the Chiwawa toys to favorites so I can find them again—if or when these ever wear out.

Fun Bath Toy - Loud Squeaker
Size: Small
My dog loves these little squeaky toys. The squeaker is loud and the toy is very durable. She can chew on it and it still looks the same. We love to add them into the bathtub when it’s time for a bath to make her less stressed. She loves to bat them around the house. They roll around pretty well.

Good quality for the price, I’m very happy with this purchase.
Size: Small
They’re slightly smaller than a tennis ball, lightweight, and have a nice bounce. My dog is medium-sized (about 68 lbs) lab mix, and these work great for her. I’ve been looking for a toy like this for a long time. It’s made of soft rubber/silicone and squeaks with very little pressure, which is perfect for my dog. She loves to gently carry toys around the house and yard, and most squeaky toys require too much force. These are easy for her to squeak and just the right size to carry.

The best new toy in years! 🧡
Size: Small, Size: Small
I opened the package and took out the peach toy for my 7 pound nine year old Yorkie. Needless to say, the floor is already covered with a dozen other toys. When he touched this toy with his nose, it somehow started spinning around. He backed up and then swatted it with his paw. It rolled about three feet away. He has been playing with ‘peach’ for about 25 minutes nonstop, so I had to interrupt my busy day to write this review. I have not ever seen him love a toy this much. Now, it is squeaking pretty much nonstop, and he is still picking it up and tossing it. It is the perfect size for him. It’s a great deal too, with four similar toys in the package.
