What is Shimmer AB?

Shimmer AB is Preciosa’s answer to Swarovski’s light Aurora Borealis finish. This delicate, color-shifting overlay enhances Blue Zircon’s base tone without overwhelming it—adding movement, depth, and sparkle that changes with the light. A customer favorite for adding dimension to designs without harshness.
