Business at First Glance

This ink is visually stunning — a rich, vibrant blue base paired with fine gold shimmer particles that catch the light beautifully when dry. When writing, the shimmer gradually reveals itself, especially on high-quality paper. In angled lighting, the gold flecks sparkle subtly but unmistakably, making it an eye-catching choice that my husband can use at work.

Purple not blue!!

The description says "Lapis blue with gold shimmer" so I thought I was ordering a blue ink. It is really NOT! It is purple. It's a pretty color, but not what I thought.

One of my favorite inks. The glitter shows up better on broader nibs.
