Van Dieman's 2025 January - Jewel Beetle - 100ml Shimmering Fountain Pen Ink

Van Dieman’s Ink of the Month - January 2025: Jewel Beetle

Inspired by Nature's Tiny Treasure
The Jewel Beetle, known scientifically as Buprestidae, is a marvel of the microcosmic world. Found in various habitats across the globe, these beetles are renowned for their iridescent, metallic exoskeletons that shimmer with a spectrum of colors depending on the angle of light. Their stunning appearance is not just for show—these colors serve as both camouflage and a warning to predators. Jewel beetles have long fascinated entomologists, artists, and jewelers, inspiring awe with their natural artistry.

Our Jewel Beetle ink captures the essence of this remarkable creature, bringing its dazzling brilliance to your writing and artwork.
