Celebrate history and artistry with J. Herbin 1670 Emerald of Chivor, a rich, dark teal blue-green ink infused with sparkling gold particles. In the early 1700s, M. Herbin created the “Jewel of Inks” in his Paris shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain, establishing the Herbin name as the oldest in fine pen inks.
Part of the 1670 Anniversary Ink Collection, Emerald of Chivor draws inspiration from the adventurous voyages of Jacques Herbin, a 17th-century French sailor who brought ink and sealing wax formulas back to Paris. Legend has it that Herbin kept an emerald with him as a good luck charm on his journeys. This luxurious ink reflects that spirit, combining a shimmering gold sheen with its deep teal blue-green hue to create a striking, glittering effect on paper.
Crafted with all-natural dyes and a pH-neutral formula, Emerald of Chivor delivers a smooth and expressive writing experience for fountain pens. Presented in a 15?mL glass bottle sealed with hand-dipped wax, it embodies the elegance, heritage, and Parisian craftsmanship of the Herbin tradition.
Bring the sparkle of history, adventure, and luxury to your writing with J. Herbin 1670 Emerald of Chivor.
