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!
Bought this for my son. He loves colour and texture, and that's hard to find in men's scarves. The scarf is exactly as pictured and described. Colour is even nicer in hand. Cotton is such a versitle material that he will be able to wear it all year round. I know he's going to love it.
