Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments may be used any time a metallic or pearlescent effect is desired. Pearl Ex can be mixed into acrylics, oils, printing inks, encaustics, alcohol inks, epoxy, glues, casting resins, clay, varnishes and so much more.

Try it mixed with Gum Arabic for DIY metallic calligraphy ink or watercolour, or in the Pearl Ex Varnish for working on non-porous surfaces, or mixed into one of Jacquard's colourless extenders for use on fabric. Pearl Ex is a safe, inert pigment that exhibits extreme colourfastness and stability.

The different particle sizes produce different effectsm from a smooth pearly luster, to a highly metallic sheen. Pearl Ex creates a metallic effect without being a real metal and will never tarnish or fade.

Can be used with polymer clay, encaustics, paper, shrink plastic, leather, glass, canvas, wood, and more. Mix with a binder to use on natural and synthetic fibres. 

Jacquard Pearl Ex range includes 54 colours in 3g, 14g or 21g jars, 3g sets, Gum Arabic and a Varnish.
