What is Shimmer AB?

The Shimmer AB coating is a delicate version of the classic Aurora Borealis effect. It enhances the base Blue Zircon color with a subtle rainbow-like sheen—perfect for creating depth without overwhelming the design. Inspired by the Swarovski shimmer effect, it's now beautifully replicated by Preciosa®.
