The exclusive 1798 ink collection celebrates the year Jacques Herbin first introduced his own line of quality inks, an important step in the history of the brand. Deep unsaturated colors with optimal pressure sensitivity, 1798 Inks are illuminated with shimmering flecks of silver for an elegant finish.
"Amethyste De L'Oural" (Ural Mountain Amethyst) is the first ink in the new Jacques Herbin 1798 Inks Collection. It is a deep rich purple in the velvety hue of a rare gemstone. A silver mist provides a lustrous shimmering effect. "Amethyste De L'Oural" suggests the color of royalty. This ancient gemstone from the gates of Asia was prized for its calming, meditative and lucid dreaming qualities.
"Cornaline d'Egypte" (Carnelian of Egypt) Ink contains rich, orange/red pigments that have made the carnelian so beloved for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians considered carnelian to be one of the most calming and healing semi-precious gemstones. It was believed to elevate the mood, eliminate stress and was used as a symbol of life. The addition of shimmering silver pigments gives this ink an elegant and refined depth and luster.
"Kyanite du Népal" (Kyantie of Nepal) Ink is bright blue and pulling toward turquoise. It is magnified thanks to a cloud of silver glitter for a powerful and elegant writing. Since the discovery of the famous mining region of Nepal, Kali Gandaki, Kyanite has been recognized as a noble mineral because of its similarities with the rich tones of sapphire.
Diamant Bleu is a luxurious shimmering fountain pen ink with a rich, deep blue base and subtle silver sparkle. Inspired by the legendary Indian blue diamond, this ink captures the quiet elegance of a luminous summer night, shimmering with sophistication and depth.
