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!
I love this ring! I wear it on my middle finger with a London Blue topaz on my ring finger and they compliment each other beautifully. Very much for the jewelry lover who isn't trying to make a big, gaudy statement. Hasn't tarnished at all and I hope to purchase more of this artist's work soon!
