It was my first time using a Diamine Inkvent ink, and I am pleasantly surprised. There’s a good balance between the brown ink and gold shimmer. The payoff is fairly consistent. Ink dries quickly and doesn’t bleed. I’m writing with a Sheaffer M nib. I’m definitely going to try more of these inks.

Cocoa shimmer has an outstanding performance and in my TWSBI Diamond 580 with F nib very well to handle. Don’t forget to shake and unfortunately RE-shake after a few seconds…. I do love it, the texts look amazing when you write with this eyecatcher ink

On thre botton of the bottle you see the shimmer particles, until you shake things up. After 20 seconds shaking, it takes just another 20 seconds to bring the shimmer particles back to bottom. I tried to fill it in a Kaweco but as I assumed before it was blocking the inkflow and a deep clean was necessary. With a glass or a steel nib in a holder, the inks work well, but the handling ... good for decorative lettering, less good for longer texts.

Firefly shimmer ink from Diamine, is gorgeous! In fountain pens or dip pen it writes so well. Love to draw with it. I prefer it in other nib sizes that EF but can handle EF nib as well, tried it in my twsbi eco ef and it wrote well, but in F size it was a dream. Still my fave using an dip pen like Kakimori steel nib- for drawing

This is a beautiful ink that really would be perfect for writing a special card etc. For me it is a little too flash for day to day use but if you are not using it in a corporate setting you will be fine.

The ink behaves differently depending on the paper. For me when I used cheaper paper then shimmer colour became the primary ink colur and when using a good quality paper you get the ink forward with the shimmer in the background.

All in all I am very happy to have this in my collection and will probably add some more heading into the holiday season.

Ik heb nu een stuk of 5 inkten uit deze serie, de kleur is natuurlijk een kwestie van smaak maar alle inkten uit deze lijn die ik heb geprobeerd zijn echt heel erg goed wat schrijfeigenschappen betreft.

De glitters hebben mijn pen nog nooit doen verstoppen, ik heb ze in van alles getest van f-flex tot een japanse EF en zelfs die verstopte niet.

Als je het echt heel erg belangrijk vindt om alle glitters uit je pen te krijgen zou ik aanraden om hem in convertor pennen te gebruiken. Mij maakt het wat minder uit hoe mijn pen er aan de binnenkant uit ziet als het maar niet verstopt, en dat doet het niet.

Als je deze inkt in een piston vulpen gebruikt zul je wel een aantal keer moeten spoelen om de laatste glitter er uit te krijgen, of je moet voor lief nemen dat je volgende inkt mogelijk een verdwaalde glitter heeft (zo doe ik het :P)

Super mooie diep rode inkt met zilveren glans.
Ook mooi zonder glimmer, gewoon niet schudden voor het gebruik.
Laat je nib niet verstoppen. Ik zeg kopen!!!
Mooi rood is zeker niet lelijk in dit geval.

Review Title: Blue Pearl

I had been looking for some more special ink for writing cards or special letters. I was searching for a not to bright and clear colour shade, I wanted an intensive colour with either o lot of shading or some nice shimmering. So I decided to go for the shimmering first and ordered this Blue Pearl second after enjoying the Diamond shimmering Ivy Green first. The blue is amazing. It is a very beautiful intense and rich blue. And the shimmering is very decent not to much just the right amount in my eyes but a bit more obvious than the Ivy Green. It pops some more depending how the light falls on it. It is perfect for the intense I wanted it.

I would never use it in one of my vintage pens with ink sack because the shimmering parts will fall out a bit so that you will never get it absolutely clean again.

Lucky me lover of more wet inks. It is more a wet than a dry ink.

I am really happy getting the Blue Pearl

Prachtige inkt waar de glitterende delen subtiel naar voren komen. Let wel op dat u een pen gebruikt waar de feed eruit kan! De glitter is moeilijk te verwijderen zonder de feed los te maken.

Verder verstopt de inkt niet en schrijft het heerlijk. Zelf heb ik de "Night Sky" en "Magical Forest" gekocht.
