Jacques Herbin Pearl of the Inks Calligraphy Set

Jacques Herbin has been crafting exceptional inks since 1670, making it one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious ink makers. Founded in Paris by the adventurous Jacques Herbin, the brand was inspired by distant voyages and rare pigments brought back from India and the East. For over 350 years, Jacques Herbin inks have been celebrated for their luminous colors, refined formulas, and timeless elegance. Now part of the Clairefontaine Rhodia family, the brand continues to embody French craftsmanship, tradition, and the art of writing at its finest.
