Welcome back to the channel. Today I am kicking off a new series where we explore the beautiful gemstones that define our months through the lens of fountain pen inks. We are starting with the January birthstone: the garnet. I have selected 10 specific inks that capture those brownish, purplish, and deep red undertones that make garnets so unique. Whether you are looking for a protective "warrior's talisman" for your journal or a rich burgundy for a Valentine's letter, these swatches will help you find your perfect match. Garnet inks can provide a sense of grounding and strength during difficult times. I would love to hear which of these shades spoke to you the most. Are you leaning toward a traditional earthy red or something with a bit more sheen? Don't forget to subscribe as we prepare to explore the amethyst in February. Keep ink on your fingers and keep being awesome.
