Decanted from Diamine · ShimmerFrosted Orchid
A violet fountain pen ink made by Diamine, decanted here into a 1, 2 or 4 ml vial so you can live with the colour before committing to a bottle.
Buy one, or three or more with 5% off each. Any mix of sizes counts towards the three.
Shimmer. Best in a broader nib with a wetter flow. The suspended particles can clog an extra-fine or fine nib and starve the feed.
Decanted by hand in small batches, so a colour can run out on the day you ask. If we cannot fill one, we refund it, or the whole order if you would rather.

The small print
- Who decanted it
- Decanted by hand from a sealed Diamine bottle into a screw-cap plastic vial, not sold to us by Diamine: the name and the ink are theirs, the decanting is ours, and there is no affiliation or endorsement either way.
- How to keep it
- Every vial is decanted fresh, after you order it, so the clock starts with you. Ink left in a vial for months can evaporate or shift a little, so use it within three months and keep it capped.
- What we promise
- That it reaches you intact, correctly labelled and holding the ink on the sticker. If it does not, tell us and we will replace it. Everything we can and cannot answer for is on the disclaimer page.
