Diamine Gold Star - 50ml Bottled Ink

Diamond Gold Star

Lovely colors and sparkle. Not great in a fountain pen. May work better with a Pilot Parallel Pen, but not great in a Conklin with a stub nib. Disappointing.

Another beautiful Diamine ink

A good addition to the shimmering inks made by Diamine.

Hard to Achieve

The ink color is really pretty (not too yellow, not too red) with some color variations. If you dont want shimmer, you can let it rest for 30 seconds and skim off the top. The major issue I had with it (as to be expected with a yellow) is that I have to totally disassemble my piston filler pen to get it clean of the previous ink before filling with this ink. And even then, the slightest residue of a blue ink tucked away in a corner of the pen will result in a lime green. TBH, I've never really achieved this inks 'true' color, other than a cotton swab.
