In the year 1700, M. Herbin created The "Jewel of Inks" in his little shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain in Paris. The J. Herbin brand is therefore the oldest name in fine pen inks in the world. J. Herbin inks are pH Neutral and are comprised of All Natural dyes in their fountain pen inks. This natural composition and delicate balance of ingredients is the essence of any fine ink.
The 1670 Inks, exclusive to the Jacques HERBIN Collection, commemorate the year of the creation of the house, right in the heart of Paris, in the shadow of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. The intense and deep colors of the 1670 anniversary are illuminated by gold glitter.
Night opal, with its fiery flashes of golden glitter, evokes a beautiful summer sky as the sun’s rays gently fade. This hue, with its bluish and green reflections, brings serenity and harmony to this brief moment that is particularly conducive to meditation and daydreaming.
The design on the box represents the life of J. Herbin a sailor. The ship anchor and palm tree represent navigation and discovery. The crown is a reference to the red sealing wax color used in the royal courts of Europe.
