What is Shimmer AB?

The Shimmer AB coating adds an iridescent layer to the crystal that enhances but doesn’t overpower the underlying color. Developed to mimic the ethereal shimmer originally popularized by Swarovski, this coating brings elegance and light-play to designs—especially with bold shades like Capri Blue.
