Beautiful ring. I was not careful with it and broke the opal after too much rough wear. I didn't take it off while cleaning or gardening. I'm buying a new one and will take better care of it.
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!
