Jacquard : Pearl Ex : Powdered Pigment

Jacquard Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments are versatile, finely milled pigments designed to create luminous metallic, pearlescent, and interference effects. These highly concentrated powders can be mixed into a wide range of artistic mediums, including acrylics, oils, printing inks, encaustics, epoxy resins, glues, varnishes, alcohol inks, and polymer clay, making them suitable for countless creative applications.

Unlike metallic pigments made from actual metals, Pearl Ex pigments are inert and non-tarnishing, meaning they retain their brilliance over time without fading or oxidising. Different particle sizes produce a variety of visual effects, ranging from a subtle pearly sheen to a rich metallic lustre, allowing artists to achieve everything from delicate highlights to dramatic shimmering finishes.

Pearl Ex can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including paper, canvas, wood, leather, glass, polymer clay, encaustic wax, and fabric when combined with a suitable binder or extender. It can also be mixed with gum arabic to create custom metallic watercolours or calligraphy inks, offering exceptional flexibility for mixed-media artists, printmakers, crafters, and painters alike.
