Two markers — gold and silver — with brush nibs and free-flowing ink. The same format as the Black & White set: brush nib, free ink reservoir, multi-surface formula. The distinction here is the metallic ink, which behaves differently from standard pigment — it catches the light, reads as genuinely metallic on the surface rather than simply gold-coloured, and works particularly well on dark papers and surfaces where standard markers disappear.
Gold and silver together is the obvious pairing for lettering, card making, gift decoration, illustration highlights, and any project where a metallic mark is the point. The brush nib means the line width varies with pressure — a light touch gives a fine metallic line; more pressure produces a broader, bolder stroke. Both markers work on canvas, glass, fabric, wood, paper, and most other surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do metallic brush markers differ from standard markers?
Metallic markers use ink containing fine metallic particles that reflect light, giving a genuinely shiny finish rather than a flat gold or silver colour. The effect is most pronounced on dark surfaces — black card, kraft paper, dark fabric — where the metallic contrast is strongest. On white paper the metallic quality is still present but less dramatic.
What surfaces work best with metallic ink?
Dark or coloured surfaces show metallic ink to best advantage. Black card, dark kraft paper, slate, glass, wood, and coloured fabric all work well. The multi-surface formula means the ink adheres to non-porous surfaces like glass and metal as well as porous ones like paper and fabric.
What is a free ink brush marker?
A free ink marker uses a reservoir of liquid ink that flows to the nib, rather than a compressed felt or foam core. The result is more consistent flow and better colour saturation. Combined with a brush nib, it produces marks that vary with pressure and angle — a hairline at light touch, a broad expressive stroke with more pressure.
Are these suitable for calligraphy and lettering?
Yes — the brush nib is well suited to lettering techniques that rely on variation between thick downstrokes and thin upstrokes. Metallic ink on a dark surface is a classic combination for greeting card lettering, gift tags, and seasonal decoration work.
