looks more flat than hammered...the hammering is subtle. beautiful craftsmanship.
Stone looks faceted, and with more color variety in the photo, it is not. A deep blue cabochon is more like it.
That being said, it is quite pretty and fits perfectly!
As I already had Lapis earrings given me by my late husband, I was hoping to find a necklace to wear with them.
This was better than I hoped, and looks just wonderful together with the earrings!
