• Pacific Ocean Drop (4 inks)
• Arctic Ocean Drop (4 inks)
• Atlantic Ocean Drop (4 inks)

Pacific Ocean Drop Inks

1. Ka Moana Nui ink: Captures the vast, open calm of the Pacific Ocean in a luminous azurite-turquoise blue. This ink features a delicate silver-gold shimmer that separates gently on the page, creating movement and depth without overwhelming the base color. Smooth-flowing and highly legible, Ka Moana Nui balances elegance with visual interest, making it ideal for both everyday writing and expressive work. On quality papers, the shimmer settles into soft, oceanic patterns reminiscent of light dancing across the sea.
2. Ring of Ember ink: A deep, volcanic red accented with a rich copper shimmer that glows warmly across the page. Inspired by the fiery energy of the Pacific Ring of Fire, this ink combines strength and elegance in equal measure. The copper shimmer enhances the ink’s depth rather than overpowering it, creating a molten, ember-like finish that is especially striking in broader nibs and washes.
3. Polynesian Hibiscus ink: A vivid crimson pink inspired by the iconic tropical bloom. Bright, confident, and highly saturated, this ink delivers a clean, striking line with excellent flow. On premium papers such as Tomoe River, a faint gold sheen may emerge in pooled areas, adding a soft warmth to the color. Lively yet refined, Polynesian Hibiscus brings a bold floral energy to any page.
4. Giant Pacific Octopus ink: A sophisticated mauve-grey ink with quiet complexity beneath the surface. As it dries, the color separates gently into muted pinks, soft blues, and cool grays, echoing the natural camouflage and intelligence of its namesake. This is an understated, atmospheric ink that excels in shading and tonal variation, perfect for writers and artists who appreciate depth without shimmer.

NEW: Arctic Ocean Drop Inks

1. King Crab: Powerful. Armoured. Unmistakably bold. Inspired by the formidable crustacean that prowls the cold northern seabed, Arctic King Crab's deep crimson-rose base shifts toward wine in heavier applications. Assertive yet refined, King crab ink is a northern red forged in cold water, with depth beneath its surface.
2. Sextant Brass (Shimmer): Inspired by a time when navigation depended on metal, mathematics, and nerve, Sextant Brass ink's rich, burnished bronze base is layered with warm copper and deep amber undertones for an aged, mechanical, and resolute imprint on the page brought to life by a dense gold shimmer that spreads across the ink like polished navigation instruments catching low Arctic light.
3. Northern Lights (Shimmer): Inspired by the aurora borealis arcing through the polar darkness, Northern Lights ink's deep glacial teal base balances evergreen and blue-black to create a oceanic tone filled with shimmering phenomenon that changes with the light - a polar sky in motion.
4. 90° North (Shimmer): Inspired by the shifting light at the pole itself, this ink's cool glacial blue base is layered with soft violet undertones to create an atmosphere both frozen and luminous with fine silver-gold shimmer bringing a bit of magic.

NEW: Atlantic Ocean Drop Inks

1. Gulf Stream: A vivid ocean teal balanced between blue and green. Lighter strokes lean bright turquoise; heavier strokes deepen into saturated blue-green, like a strong current in motion.
2. Portuguese Man O’ War: An electric marine violet with magenta undertones that pool into plum. In brighter light, a striking green sheen can flash across the surface like iridescence on the water.
3. Bermuda Triangle: A dark, stormy blue-black with cool teal undertones at the edges. In most writing it reads moody navy, with depth that feels mysterious and magnetic.
4. Mid Atlantic Blue: A saturated open-ocean blue between cobalt and deep indigo. Pooled areas form darker navy currents, giving the color a steady, expansive “deep water” feel.
