What is Shimmer AB?

The Shimmer AB effect enhances crystal color with a delicate, light-reactive finish—offering soft iridescence without overpowering the base hue. Similar to Swarovski’s discontinued “Shimmer” coating, this finish allows the vibrant Aqua Bohemica base to glow through with luminous color shifts under light.
