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!
As nice as the photos are, they don't convey how the design of this ring shows off silver. I've never seen anything like it. It's unique, beautiful, perfect.
Many thanks to the artist!
