Comments:  Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of AB coatings.  "AB" means "aurora borealis", and the coating is meant to reflect a rainbow of colors.  Most often, however, they just look silvery.  Nonetheless, I've found that AB coatings look good on certain colors, such as this one.  I think they would look better, however, if the coating didn't look yellowish on many of the beads.
