Yes, they could have embossed the stones - in a process known as 3D embossing - where you have embossing on top of embossing . . . but the designers maybe thought that the stones would get damaged more easily if raised instead of sunk into the artwork . . . truth to tell the real life stones do appear more pronounced than on the poster and steelbook: . . . different shape too - cushion cut as opposed to round cut:-
Couple of examples of 3D embossing on metal:-

I hate the A covers as well. I am glad they have not continued with that awful design.
This embossing/debossing follows the CA:WS for WWA pattern and I can't remember since then any other steelbook from Marvel looking as dynamic/cool as that. Was all other's released afterwards really as flat as a pancake in the UK?!?
They could have just debossed the areas around the stones. They did the same thing on the GOTG2 steelbook to make the button embossed, they debossed the area around it
Looks like gloss
Don’t understand why the stones are debossed though (edit - ahh they have debossed the lines around making the stones embossed)

Debossing the stones was dumb, but I'm more annoyed by the fact the front, spine and back art don't quite line up.
Still a fairly decent WWA steel though IMO (this is Marvel after all), especially as it's gloss!

I think that spine will look more lined up when it’s closed. I’ve seen it before when it’s open fully the lining don’t quite match (on a continued art) but I agree that’s a little more off than normal
I like the debossing, outside of the stones. I don't know why they couldn't do a proper wraparound. I think with the stones being debossed, I prefer the US release, with the brighter colors. The planet pops much more. I guess one could argue the morose coloring is more fitting, and the debossing is perfect if you want to make stone magnets.
You know what, some deep rich colours a’la Aladdin and nice gloss f8nish, that rear artworks a winnerLooks pretty decent judging by these pics courtesy Steelbookpro:-

Still not sold on the front so guess which side with be on display
Cancelled my Zavvi copy , misaligned back spine and front just like the pictures in the USA thread.
Not paying £33 for this junk , I will get the BluFans version thank you.

Well, for the price I should hope so. I personally don't understand why people compare releases like this with premium releases.

Because we can. Back in the day, standard steelbooks would have amazing artworks and finishes. These days not so much. So that’s the comparison.
This is still a better version than the best buy which is just flat with no debossing/embossing. Anyone know if this version is Europe wide with Amazon Germany?
Yes, although some territories will have the spine title replaced with thumbnail pics - France for example:-

It needs some work/improvements, but I made a test slip for this using my design - I'm hoping to sell them once I've perfected the process (whenever that may be) if anyone's interested.
