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!
This is a great third-eye design !!!! I speak as an artist myself. It has touched my inner child, and I try to wear it everyday as it goes with other rings I have purchased from Novica.. Thank you for adding this gem to my spiritual life !!!!!
