What is Shimmer AB?
The Shimmer AB effect is a refined version of the traditional Aurora Borealis coating. Lighter and more translucent, it adds a dynamic, luminous glow that enhances the base crystal color rather than overpowering it—offering a luxurious, light-catching finish ideal for any high-impact design.
