Diamine Shimmering Seas from the 2015 Shimmertastic collection is a rich blue black fountain pen ink with low shading and gold shimmer. It dries in 30 seconds in a medium nib on Rhodia and has an average flow. Diamine ink has been made in England since 1864.
The shimmer shows up more vibrantly and the flow is smoother the broader the nib size. Gently shaking the bottle or vial will evenly redistribute the shimmer throughout the ink.

Great dark blue shimmer.
I like the Diamine shimmer inks and think they behave well. I wanted one of the blues with gold shimmer. I picked one that was too dark for what I had in mind; taking one star away...view more purely for personal preference. Will try a few others. Blue Pearl (with silver shimmer) is stunning! view less

Smooth, shimmery blue-black
I got this looking for something similar to a special edition ink I had, and this one ended up being pretty close, though darker. I don't normally like dark blue or black inks, but...view more I really like this one. It reminds me of a starry night. The shimmer is a pretty gold shade. It comes down pretty thick and wet, and very smooth. I've been using it in a broad nib and loving the effects. I'll probably end up getting a full bottle of this at some point. view less
