50ml Bottle

Part of Diamine’s Shimmertastic collection, this Cocoa Shimmer brown fountain pen ink features added gold shimmer. Works best with broader nibs on high quality paper to really see the shine. Comes in a 50ml glass bottle.

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.

Cocoa Shimmer

I really enjoy this ink. Stays on the paper and off the hands once dry. I've been using it for just over a month to write letters. Writes well and looks good. I do clean the TWSBI Dimond 580 I use it in before every filling.

Beautiful ink

This is such a pretty ink. I don't have to wait too long for it to dry. The shimmer is such a nice touch.

Amateur's Experience

This ink was my first experience with shimmer ink. Didn't realize clogging was an issue with cheaper pens or finer nibs. Switched this ink into a Pilot Kakuno Medium nib and have been sailing ever since.

Lovely Ink, but Shimmer is a bit problematic

This ink is very exciting. The ink looks great and writes very smooth. I suppose I didn't expect the ink to get dry and jam the pen. However, its my first shimmer ink so I didn't know what I was expecting.Very fun though. Recommended.

Diamine Cocoa Shimmer Ink gets 10 Stars!

I love, love this shimmer ink by Diamine. The gold tones of the shimmer in the light are dazzling! Writing in my bullet journal now has a classy look that I look forward to updating every day. I pair it with J. Herbin's Jack Frost blue ink for my headers and essential comments in my Archer & Olive white paged, dot grid, A5 journal. I believe the color of the journal pages makes a big difference in the success of specific ink colors; that is why I chose white pages. I do not see shading with my Noodler's Ahab flex pen; I write small.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink. You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink (a fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in) is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size with shimmering ink. While it is safe to use in fountain pens, it may require a little extra maintenance.

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens, especially with finer nibs.

We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling, and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging.

You will also want to be diligent about regularly cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.
