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!
These earrings came packaged nicely and are absolutely beautiful. Much prettier than the picture. Recommend 100 percent as a gift or as a special treat for yourself!
