You’ve seen that magical, oil-slick rainbow coating on high-end crystals, but do you know what it’s called? It’s Aurora Borealis (AB), and it changed the jewelry world forever. At Chainstones, our new Swarovski AB Crystal Earrings are a tribute to this legendary innovation.
A History of Shine: Dior & Swarovski
In 1956, Christian Dior collaborated with Swarovski to create a crystal that mimicked the Northern Lights. The result was the "AB" coating—a special finish that refracts light into a spectrum of colors.
-
The Look: Unlike clear crystals that just shine white, AB crystals shift colors from blue to gold to pink depending on the angle and background.
-
The Vibe: It’s ethereal, magical, and impossible to ignore.
Why Rhodium Plating?
We chose Rhodium Plating for the setting of these earrings. Why?
-
It's Precious: Rhodium is a member of the platinum family and is actually rarer than gold.
-
It's Bright: It provides an ultra-white, mirror-like finish that enhances the cool tones of the crystals.
-
It Lasts: It creates a hard, protective shell that prevents scratches and tarnish.
Styling for the Spotlight
These earrings aren't for blending in.
-
Evening Wear: They are the perfect match for a little black dress, adding a pop of color without needing a necklace.
-
Bridal: For the unconventional bride, AB crystals add a "something blue" flash that looks stunning in photos.
