Diamine Inkvent Year 1 Ink Bottle - Gold Star brings a festive touch to everyday writing, pairing vivid color with a refined shimmer that catches the light without overwhelming the page. This expressive shade offers warm, seasonal character while remaining versatile for notes, journaling, and creative accents.
Color & Character
Gold Star features a rich, warm hue in the orange-gold family, enlivened by fine metallic particles that create a subtle sparkling effect. On bright or cream papers it shows lively shading and a gentle glow, adding dimension to headers, cards, and highlights.
Writing Experience
As with most shimmering inks, a quick shake before filling helps distribute the particles evenly. For the most visible sparkle, medium to broad nibs tend to showcase the effect best. This water-based formula flows smoothly, and quality paper is recommended to minimize feathering and allow the shimmer to surface cleanly. Routine pen cleaning is advised when rotating shimmering inks.
Brand Heritage
Founded in 1864 in Liverpool, England, Diamine has long been trusted by writers and artists for reliable flow, consistent color, and an expansive palette that invites experimentation.
