Wearingeul The Young King Fountain Pen Ink — 30 mL

Wearingeul The Young King interprets Oscar Wilde’s tale in a vivid magenta-red with coppery rose-gold shimmer. It is an opulent color, but the shifting metallic particles keep that opulence unstable—exactly right for a story that questions the cost behind beautiful things.

Wearingeul’s own documentation describes the ink as a shading, glistening color whose shimmer changes with viewing angle. The effect is particulate rather than true sheen. Medium and broad nibs generally make the color and metallic movement easiest to appreciate, with gentle agitation helping maintain even shimmer distribution.
