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'm in marketing and love lots of color -- and this provides. So different from other pieces out there. Great for casual but also wear it to work. The colored leaters are fatastic and the variety of stones make it work with so many outfits.
