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 purchased this anklet for my wedding. It went with my safari theme but also elephants are my favorite animal. I loved the little jingle the bells made. This item is very well made and stay on during a full night of dancing! I even wore it again to another person's wedding.
