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 love the color of the stone in these earrings and the opposing design of the textured silver. They were the perfect size and the quality of the workmanship is excellent. I love jewelry from Peru having traveled there a few years ago. It reminds me of my trip when I wear them!
