Our most versatile product yet, Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments may be used any time a metallic or pearlescent effect is desired: mix them into acrylics, oils, printing inks, encaustics, alcohol inks, epoxy, glues, casting resins, clay, varnishes... the list goes on! Try it mixed with Gum Arabic for a DIY metallic calligraphy ink or watercolor, in the Pearl Ex Varnish for working on non-porous surfaces, or mixed into one of Jacquard's colorless extenders for use on fabric. Jacquard is proud to offer the widest assortment of dry metallic and pearlescent pigments available.

Pearl Ex is a safe, inert pigment that exhibits extreme colorfastness and stability. The different particle sizes produce different effects, from a smooth pearly luster, to a highly metallic sheen. Pearl Ex creates a metallic effect without being a real metal-it will never tarnish or fade!

Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments 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 fibers.

Ideas & Tips:

Use Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments with Pearl Ex Varnish as a medium or topcoat (Neopaque Extender can also be used as a medium), or mix with Gum Arabic and water for an easy-made watercolor or calligraphy ink.
