Jacques Herbin – Les encres

The exclusive 1798 ink collection celebrates the year Jacques Herbin first introduced his own line of quality inks, an important step in the history of the brand. The third ink in the 1798 line distills the essence of kyanite into an ink. This semi-precious stone is treasured for its similarity in hue to the rich color found in sapphires. Kyanite du Nepal is a bright, turquoise ink with a green tint. It evokes the ebb and flow of gentle waters with a silver shimmer like sunlight on the ocean. It’s an excellent match for writing in the dog days of summer with its cooling blue hue

Kyanite is bright blue and pulling toward turquoise. It is magnified thanks to a cloud of silver glitter for a powerful and elegant writing. Since the discovery of the famous mining region of Nepal, Kali Gandaki, Kyanite has been recognized as a noble mineral because of its similarities with the rich tones of sapphire.
