What is Shimmer AB?
The Shimmer AB effect is a lighter, more modern twist on the traditional Aurora Borealis coating. It gives the rhinestone an ethereal, luminous glow without overshadowing the base color. This finish is particularly stunning on bold shades like Capri Blue, offering both radiance and dimension in small-format designs.
