My Forever Green

Over the last twenty years, I have wandered among many ink colors. From blues to browns, reds to blacks, I always came back to green. So I then turned to finding the perfect shade of green, something dark enough to hold up even on yellow legal pads, but light enough to still be a vivid green. Aventurine is an incredible ink, and a green that has become my gold standard. I have recommended it to many others who are also in search of a nice green.

Too much cyan

Very disappointed with this green as it has far too much cyan for my liking. The green side of things is also a very bright emerald, much lighter than I was looking for. Shading is high, but has a marked transition from green to cyan, which is the trait I dislike. Flow and wetness is excellent in my Pelican M800, but I was looking for something that was a shade lighter and vibrant than my favourite Graf von Faber Castell Moss Green, which I love, but this is several shades lighter. Just goes to show that choosing an ink shade from a computer screen can be misleading as many swatches look much darker than the ink really is. I have to say this is a lovely ink, it's just that it's not aesthetically pleasing for me.

Stunning Green Ink

A bold, vivacious green, like writing with liquid emeralds.

Wanted a golf turf green..... this ink delivered

I bought a bottle sight unseen. I had seen Brian's reviews but was somewhat skeptical since I'm an Iroshizuku purist.When I got the ink, I first inked up just a medium nib pen. I so impressed with the shading of this ink that I immediately fetched my flex nib Pilot 912. Good god. This ink looks beautiful when you put down thick lines. I would say calling this Aventurine is a misnomer, because the color is more reminiscent of deep emerald green. The shading that this pen produces, even with a fairly dry writer still shows up.Did I also mention the bottle is as good looking or maybe even better looking than the Pilot Iroshizuku bottles??

Great Ink

I agree with Brian's review of Pelikan's Edelstein inks. The packaging and bottles alone are impressive. Pelikan inks flow smoothly and I have not experienced any issues even when a filled pen sits idle. I think I prefer the Aventurine over the Jade, simply because I prefer a deeper toned ink that is bright rather than muted for writing. Aventurine reminds me of an emerald jewel.

FAQs about Bottled Ink

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.

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

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

Yes! Shimmering ink 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 and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.

It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!

What is your return policy for bottled ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B
