gold ink

Lustrous calligraphy medium

Gold ink is ink with a metallic gold appearance, used for decorative lettering, calligraphy, and printing.

Traditional gold ink contains actual gold powder or bronze particles suspended in a medium; modern versions often use synthetic metallic pigments.

The term extends to digital effects that simulate metallic gold: The wedding invitations were printed in gold ink.
