Pelikan Edelstein Golden Beryl


nibtip

Recommended Posts

Here is the new Pelikan 2021 LE Edelstein ink.

Luckily i am into orange and yellow lately.

Yes I like it very much and will often use it. Probably mostly without the glitter.

As expected flow smoothness and saturation are nib feed and paper dependent. Yes this is very good. It is a pleasure to write with in a good pen and on good paper. Also very legible.

Not bad, to use a litote.

Papers are TR52 and the new Kokuyo Perpaned (anagram for pen and paper) 95gsm.

 

On double-click you will be forwarded to much bigger size pics.

The more illuminated ones are scans.

 

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the review. :thumbup: 

That's a lot of glitter :D to create the illusion of gold...

It's interesting how the colour is more intense in a finer nib. 

Looking forward to your next reviews..

Ooh, shiny! Mine should be here any day now.

Thanks for the review!  Looks best in a wet nib, IMO.  The comparison to other inks was helpful.  And, I hope you're happy, I felt compelled to listen to Elvis... ;)

Thanks for this nice review. Very good photography. I'm amazed (and happy) that it is so legible. Funny thing being that I already bought it a month ago but haven't even opened it because I don't have access anymore to a high-speed centrifuge....

Thanks for the beautiful review! The ink’s colour is really nice and surprisingly legible. I got my bottle yesterday - not a glitter fan, but it’s an Edelstein so I had to have it. Played around with it for a bit. The glitter is not firmly attached to the ink, but gets all over the place. Yup… glitter is definitely not my thing. The base colour is very nice though! I will use this Golden Beryl without stirring the bottle,  to minimise the amount of golden particles in my fill. Suits me much better.

How do you like the Kokuyu Perpanep papers? (for those searching for these it is spelled with a P at the end). I have some loose leaf Sara Sara and for the little I've used it, I like it so far. It is listed as smooth. I am quite interested in the Kokuyu Perpanep tsuru tsuru paper Kokuyu describes as "ultrasmooth".

      Thanks for the well done review of the ink.

Bought a bottle of this ink. The base colour really appeals to me. It’s very beautiful even without the shimmer. A quick side-by-side with KWZ El Dorado tells me that the latter contains much more orange. I’ve always cherished El Dorado but I think I like Golden Beryl even more.

^—Another view at the base colour. Wonderful! And easy to read.

I recently got a sample of Beryl. I like it a lot. But the shimmer suspension settles quickly. You have to shake the pen often to avoid uneven concentrations on the page. Great color tho!

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
