I have so been looking forward to trying Golden Ivy. It is a stunning green, vibrant without being gaudy. It is very emerald and lustrous in appearance (very close to MB Irish Green) even away from the shimmer particles. This ink has taken my breath away with its shading and punchy red sheen, coupled with gold shimmer and it can happily challenge my beloved Emerald of Chivor! I am delighted. Swatches on BlacknRed, Breezenotebook and Rhodia
