What is Shimmer AB?

The Shimmer AB finish is a modern, luminous version of the traditional Aurora Borealis coating. This lighter AB layer offers a more translucent overlay, allowing the vibrant orange Hyacinth color to glow through with a dreamy, color-shifting effect. Inspired by Swarovski’s shimmer look, it's elegant and versatile for many design styles.
