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 ring is so pretty! Every time I wear it I get lots of compliments. Everyone asks where I purchased it, like "What art fair did you get it from". I tell them about NOVICA and say, check it out. They have so many beautiful things at great prices!
