Bracelet Type: Strung faceted bead bracelet
Origin: Imported
This iridescent beaded bracelet is strung from clear faceted beads finished with an AB coating. AB stands for aurora borealis: a thin iridescent layer applied to the bead surface that splits light into shifting pinks, blues and golds as the wrist moves. The underlying beads are clear and cut with flat facets, which is what gives the coating something to catch. The maker's sheet does not identify the stone itself. One bracelet per order. Imported.
Faceted beads, AB iridescent coating, colour that moves — eligible for 30-day returns under our return policy.
This listing is for one strung bracelet of clear faceted beads with an AB (aurora borealis) iridescent coating. The maker’s own spec sheet does not identify this stone, and we have not had it independently tested, so we describe it by how it looks rather than naming a mineral. Email support@splashis.com before you order if the exact stone matters to you and we will ask the factory for you. The AB finish is a surface coating, not a property of the stone, and like all applied coatings it is the part of the piece most vulnerable to detergent, perfume and abrasion. The maker publishes no wrist measurement or finished length for this piece. Email support@splashis.com before you order and we will request the measurement from the factory for you. Imported. Eligible refund requests are accepted within 30 days of delivery, subject to our Return & Refund Policy.
Best for:
AB stands for aurora borealis, a finish developed in the 1950s in which a microscopically thin metallic layer is vapour-deposited onto the surface of a clear bead. It does not add colour of its own; it splits incoming light, which is why the pinks and blues move as you turn your wrist and vanish under flat overhead lighting. Because it is a surface layer measured in nanometres, it is also the first thing to go: detergent, perfume, hairspray and abrasion all dull it, and once dulled it cannot be restored. Nothing you can buy at this price has a coating that survives being worn in the shower. Keep it dry, put it on last, and store it where it is not rubbing against other pieces, and the finish stays bright for years rather than months.
A bare wrist, mostly. If you stack, use clear or plain silver, because any strong colour next to an AB coating fights the shift rather than framing it. Avoid wearing it against a watch case, which abrades the coating fastest.
Keep it away from water, perfume, lotion and hairspray, and take it off before swimming or showering. Wipe it with a dry soft cloth after wearing. Store it flat and on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces, so the beads and cord do not get scuffed. The AB coating is a surface layer: detergent, perfume and abrasion dull it permanently, so this piece in particular goes on last and comes off first.

Aurora borealis. It is a microscopically thin iridescent layer applied to the surface of a clear bead. It adds no colour of its own — it splits light, which is why the pinks and blues shift as you move and disappear under flat lighting.
We are not able to tell you. The maker’s own spec sheet does not identify this stone, and we have not had it independently tested, so we describe it by how it looks rather than naming a mineral. Email support@splashis.com before you order if the exact stone matters to you and we will ask the factory for you. What we can describe is the finish: clear, faceted, with an AB coating.
It can. AB is a surface coating measured in nanometres, and detergent, perfume, hairspray and abrasion all dull it permanently — once gone it cannot be restored. Kept dry and stored separately, it stays bright for years.
You can, but it will not stay as bright as a piece that comes out occasionally. If you want something for daily wear, a solid stone bracelet without a coating is the more sensible buy.
One size. The maker publishes no wrist measurement or finished length for this piece. Email support@splashis.com before you order and we will request the measurement from the factory for you. If it arrives and the fit is wrong, it is covered by the 30-day refund policy (eligibility and exclusions apply).
Both. The maker lists it as unisex. The clear base reads as neutral rather than gendered.
Imported. It is made by our overseas manufacturing partners and ships from there directly to you, which is why transit takes longer than a domestic order.
Eligible refund requests are accepted within 30 days of delivery under our 30-day returns, subject to our return policy. Email support@splashis.com before sending anything back and we will walk you through it.
