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 ring just arrived and I immediately put it on. This ring is not just for cocktail parties. I will be wearing it daily- I just love it. It looks great on the middle finger and you can wear it as shown or reverse with the smaller side down. Both ways are FABU. It really makes a statement on the hand. Very unique. Many thanks to the artist for the beautiful design.
