1798 commemorates a significant year in Jacques Herbin's history. At this time, the French Revolution was ending, and the Herbin company, founded in 1670, was growing. In 1798 the company relocated to expand their production capabilities and the influence of their inks and sealing wax.

1798 inks contain silver particles to add shimmer. Shake the bottle before filling your pen, or roll your pen between your hands before writing to ensure that the particles haven't settled.

Each bottle cap is hand dipped in sealing wax, with a stamped "1798" seal on the front of the bottle, and is individually packaged in a collector edition box.

Kyanite of Nepal (Kyanite du Népal) : a bright blue pulling towards turquoise. It is magnified thanks to a cloud of silver glitter for powerful and elegant writing.

Carnelian of Egypt (Cornaline d'Egypte): a deep orange color reminiscent of the semi-precious gemstone carnelian. A silver mist provides a lustrous shimmering and sheen effect.

Ural Mountain Amethyst (Amethyste De L'Oural) : a deep rich purple in the velvety hue of a rare gemstone. A silver mist provides a lustrous shimmering and sheen effect

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.
