Van Dieman's & Pen Chalet's World Oceans - Pacific: Ring of Ember

The World Oceans Collection

The World Oceans Collection is a year-long collaboration between Van Dieman’s Ink and Pen Chalet, celebrating the vastness, diversity, and quiet power of the world’s oceans. Each release explores a single ocean or sea through colour, movement, and light, expressed in carefully formulated fountain pen inks.

Designed as a cohesive series, the collection pairs a unified nautical box with distinctive bottle labels that allow each ink to speak for itself. Flowing currents, shifting depths, and reflective shimmer echo the way oceans move and change, from tranquil shallows to immense, unknowable depths.

Every ink is handmade in Tasmania using distilled Tasmanian water, crafted to balance beauty with reliable everyday performance.

Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean is the heart of this collection. Vast, ancient, and endlessly varied, it holds volcanic fire, coral gardens, deep trenches, and open blue horizons. These inks draw from the Pacific’s extremes, capturing both its calm surface and the powerful forces beneath.

Pacific – Ring of Ember

Ring of Ember draws its inspiration from the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plates meet and volcanic energy shapes the ocean floor.

A deep ruddy red base is infused with a rich copper shimmer that blooms in heavier applications. In the swatch, metallic warmth gathers like molten light beneath the surface, shifting between ember, bronze, and gold depending on angle and saturation.

This is a powerful ink, bold yet refined, capturing heat, pressure, and the raw energy hidden beneath the Pacific’s waters.
