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 is my favorite new piece of jewelry. I've always wanted a blue lapis ring, so for my birthday I bought this ring for myself. I love this ring because the color is beautiful and the design amazing and so comfortable. I got the lapis blue spiral earrings to wear with it.
