DiamineShimmering Fountain Pen Ink
- Japan ONLY
This is a bottle of ink with shimmer inside by British ink maker Diamine that was established in 1864. This ink will further expand the joys of writing by using it with the Hexagon Glass Pen. (To fully enjoy the shimmer, we recommend the 02 with the slightly thicker pen tip.)
Out of the Diamine shimmering ink lineup, we chose three vibrant colors: “Spearmint Diva,” “Pink Champagne,” and “Golden Sands.”
The inks will sparkle the minute you start writing, but will gradually shine even more as it dries out.
It may take a while for the ink to dry, so if you want to prevent smudging the excess ink with your hands or for the extra ink to stick on to other pages, the blotting paper is an useful item.
Also available are Bottled Fountain Pen Inks in a calm color scheme.

- Shake well before use
As the shimmer settles on the bottom of the bottle, make sure that the lid is shut closed and shake well before use.
- Not recommended for use with fountain pens
When used with fountain pens, it may cause clogging.
- Not recommended for use with pen tips made of gold
It cannot be used with pen tips made from gold as it may erode.
- Writing experience and thickness may vary depending on the color of ink
As the viscosity of the ink varies depending on their color, the writing experience or thickness may vary even when written with a glass pen in the same pen tip size. Ink in blue tones have high viscosity so the lines have a tendency to be more narrow, while ink in red tones are low in viscosity so they tend to be thicker.
- Wipe mouth of bottle after use
As the bottle needs to be shaked well before using, the mouth of the bottle and the back of the lid may contain lots of ink when opened. To prevent your hands and stationery from being stained, please regularly wipe the mouth of the bottle.
