Customer Reviews
Velvet Black lays down a little rougher than I'm use to but the copper shimmer is lovely in person. That top layer of copper is really vulnerable to touch, abrasion, papers on top of it, etc. and comes off fairly easily. Just like normal glitter it gets everywhere. The under layer of black doesn't budge so your writing isn't lost. I don't think it is the ink for me, but the sample was great fun to try out and experiment with.
It's really a lovely ink. Not too wet, & with a subtle shimmer on the right part~
This colour give me joy. I love the copper sheen ink the ink. Writes really smoothly and evenly.
I would recommend this pen in a medium or broad pen nib as the copper speckles can cause flow issues. (I also have the De Atramentis Whisky Brown.) I liked them so much I've bought bottles of each but they are not for fine point pens. I've even had a little issue in a 1.0 stub but plan to try again on a 1.1 and possibly a 1.5. They are a wet ink.
So.... I bought this sample bottle of Velvet-Black Cooper ink by DeAtramentis and I am in writer's heaven . It's subtle elegance is perfect for men as well as women and it has that extra bit of artistic lift in a most subtle way . I highly recommend this color and I now almost exclusively write with inks that have shimmer, pearlessence, or subtle duo tones of color. I receive compliments not only because people appreciate receiving a lovely note on fine paper they too notice the ink.
