What is Shimmer AB?
The Shimmer AB effect is a modern take on the classic Aurora Borealis finish. Lighter and more ethereal, it allows the base crystal color—in this case, Jet—to remain strong while reflecting rainbow hues across its surface. Ideal for elegant, eye-catching designs with a touch of mystery.
