Ink Review #238: J. Herbin Emerald of Chivor

Today I’ll be reviewing another J. Herbin ink. Emerald of Chivor is an ink that is often recommended for its sheen and glitter.

Swabs:

This ink had medium shading, high red sheen, and gold shimmer. The color is a deep green-leaning teal .


Dry Time/Water Resistance:

Limonaired Ink Test Card

This ink had a quick dry time at 15 seconds and low water resistance.

Writing Sample:

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm

I found this ink to have a generously wet flow. The gold glitter and red sheen compliment the teal nicely.

Overall: Interestingly, I wasn’t as impressed with this color as much as I thought I would be. The teal is on the green side and although the sheen and glitter are pretty, they are not enough to warrant a full-bottle purchase.
