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!
The piece looks so elegant, just like the pictures. The artisan pays so much attention to detail but not just in its design. It is made very securely so as to not break or fall off the chain. A great buy and it took less than a week to arrive. I am very happy with this buy!!
