Everyone loves AB. But do you know what it is, and how it came to be? Story Time. Way back in 1965 Manfred Swarovski (son of founder Daniel Swarovski) partnered with Christian Dior to find a crystal that spoke to the designer’s vision. The result was a microscopic layer of blue metal vaporized on the surface of clear crystal. The resulting effect was an explosion of rainbow hued refractions - named of course, Aurora Borealis for the famed Northern Lights. Today, over 60 years later, AB is still Swarovski’s most popular crystal effect, being built on for even more with the newest “Shimmer” collection. Swarovski.
