Diamine Shimmering Ink - Shimmering Seas
Diamine Shimmering Ink - Shimmering Seas. A 50ml ink with fine gold shimmer particles suspended in it, giving each letter a sparkle as it dries. Give the bottle a thorough stir before use - the shimmer settles, and stirring it through properly is what brings out the best sparkle.
The colour itself shifts with how much ink goes down: a brush lays down more ink and reads darker and richer, while a dip pen tends to lay down less and reads lighter. Worth knowing too - because the shimmer is so fine, it doesn't always show up clearly in photos, so the real colour and sparkle are best judged in person.
Works well with dip pens and broader nibs, where a bit of ink flow lets the shimmer settle - also suitable for fountain pens. Water-based, non-toxic, acid-free and vegan-friendly.
