50ml Bottle

Part of Diamine’s Shimmertastic collection, this Sparkling Shadows grey 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.

Never disappointed!

This ink is beautiful! A good note to have is to shake well before using and for some uses, you may have to wait until it is fully dried to fully see the gold tone. I have been wanting a black ink with a little something extra for a little while and I am extremely happy with this choice.

Beautiful ink

Used in a TWSBI-Eco (Broad nib) and it flows well. Great color combination of the gold shimmer and grey ink.

My favorite everyday ink for personal use!

Perfect color with just the right amount of sheen and sparkle. I purchased this ink to match the color of my monogrammed stationary and I couldn't be more pleased.

Lovely golden grey

I have really been loving the golden shimmer inks. I also really love that this is a very classy and simple gray backdrop to kind of just let the gold shine. I really prefer this over their black shimmer night skys

Beautiful shimmery gray-gold ink

I basically got this ink to complement a Lamy LX Ruthenium Broad that's coming to me (eventually), but i also decided to ink up my Conklin Nighthawk with it while I'm waiting, as it seems to fit that pen's aesthetic pretty well. I wasn't wrong. Even though the Nighthawk has a fine nib, the gold shimmer certainly shows through--especially in the right light. See the pic. Can't wait to see what it does in the Lamy broad nib. I'm taking a star off because these shimmering Diamine inks do have a tendency to clog feeds with the sparkling particles. It's annoying, but the inks are in all other ways a pleasure to use. I wouldn't put them in a Visconti or an M1000, but other lesser pens shouldn't be a problem.

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.
