Initially launched as part of the 2019 Diamine InkVent calendar and now a part of the regular Diamine Blue Edition collection, this gold-sheening Winter Miracle purple fountain pen ink features added blue 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.

Gorgeous ink

Winter miracle, on good paper, is complex and attractive. It flows nicely. Some of my older pens do get slightly gummed up after a while and probably need cleaning. But this ink is worth the occasional need for maintenance. It is stunning. Be sure to shake the bottle well before filling the pen.

Inkvent = disappointment.

Honestly, out of all the inks i've ever purchased, diamine has let me down the most. They photograph the best, but present the worst in my experience. The only exception being the shimmering seas, which blew my expectations after using all of the inkvent options.

Amateur Review

I like this ink for fun things like special occasion cards or notes. The shimmer is nice and the color changes a bit from almost black to purple depending on whether I have properly rolled the pen to keep the ink mixed. If I write on average journal paper it sometimes smudges after I close the book even if the ink is dry. I am happy with the purchase because it is fun to write with in my flex nib pen and I get a lot of variation. Might not be good for work.

Doesn't shimmer a lot

The bottle looks gorgeous and the purple color tone looks nice. Works perfectly with a glass dip pen. It doesn't shimmer as much as others. Not sure if it's because of its darkness or anything difference about the particles.

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.
