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!
These earrings are quite small but exquisitely beautiful. I can't comment on how well they hold up as I gave them as a gift. I would purchase again from this artisan.
