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!
Even those people who don't really like "bling" would love this ring, great width, finish and shine and unusual, another one bought as a gift but wanted to keep!
