My sweetheart loves her gifts from Novica artisans. We feel good about our support for these artists and craftsmen (and women). It was exactly as portrayed and received in a reasonable time.
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!
