What is Shimmer AB?
Shimmer AB is a lighter, more refined version of the classic Aurora Borealis coating. It allows the crystal’s base color to shine through while enhancing brilliance with a soft spectrum of color. Perfect for elegant designs that call for extra depth and glow without overpowering the crystal’s original tone.
