сияют все!
Feb. 8th, 2013 11:51 amнаконец додумалась погуглить, что означает аббревиатура "АВ" по отношению к стеклянным бусинам. оказывается, все просто :)))))
Aurora Borealis - Северное сияние! еще одно "Ревонтули" (Сев.сияние по-фински) :)))))
Swarovski introduced the Aurora Borealis crystal bead in 1956. These special crystals were named after the Northern Lights---or the Aurora Borealis---because of a special coating that causes them to reflect a multitude of colors. Shortened to AB, the abbreviation appears as a suffix after the name of the bead. "Crystal AB" or "Garnet AB" are two examples. Through a steam treatment, a special coating is chemically bonded to the outer surface of a crystal bead. While a standard Swarovski crystal already possesses strong reflective properties, a bead with an AB coating acts somewhat like a mirror while reflecting a rainbow of colors. The coating is typically only applied to one side of the crystal so the transparent portion of the bead is still visible.
