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!
My new birthday ring is truly a treasure I have enjoyed wearing. It is comfortable as well as beautiful. I highly recommend it due to its beautiful workmanship and comfortable fit.
