Lovely dark brown. Low sheen and shading, but wonderful shimmer that flows evenly, no issue with clogging at all. Did not hesitate to ink up my Montblanc 146 with this ink.
This is our first J. Herbin ink, and its exactly as advertised. The ink is a very nice grey, but the really beautiful feature is the gold shimmer. The gold isn't as apparent when writing with a fine nib, but it shows up better with a medium where the lines are thicker and more ink is laid out. I recommend trying it out
Emerald Of Chivor is my first ink from J. Herbin and I'm extremely pleased. The color is stunning though I have only used it with a fine nib so haven't achieved the gorgeous shimmery color yet. Definitely on my list to ink up in a flex nib.
This is my first J. Herbin ink. I bought the emerald de chivor And I am completely delighted. I'm planning to buy the rest of the collection as well. The colour is incredibly beautiful, a special Aquamarine green-blue combined with the green of an emerald and with the golden sparkling of the sun upon the water surface. It has a very distinctive reddish tint contouring the letters even when writing with fine nibs and better observed when used with larger ones or calligraphy pens. Highly recommend!
I already owned the 1798 Améthyste de L'Oural ink...which is one of my holy grail inks. This time I ordered the famous Emerald de Chivor and the Stormy Grey. I must say that both even though they are shimmer inks flow fantastically and especially Emerald de Chivor pops off the paper like no other ink. So very impressed by both and highly recommended. Two thumbs up!!
First the bottle is exceptional!!! it is something that you would want to display. However, what makes the bottle exceptional makes it hard for some pens (specifically) large one to get inked up. Having said that, the ink is fantastic. The ink flows nice and smooth. The clean up is easy and provides some shading even on fin nibs.. I would highly recommend this ink.
