What is Shimmer AB?
Shimmer AB is a modern update to the traditional Aurora Borealis coating, offering a more translucent, pastel shimmer effect. It gently enhances the underlying crystal color—in this case, the creamy white opal—resulting in a dreamy, light-reflective glow ideal for bridal, fashion, and fine detail work.
