This 14k gold filled pendant has a matte finish and epic detail. The back says "I will run to you," a song by Stevie nicks and tom petty. Our lady of Guadalupe (the Spanish representation of mother mary) is a sweet reminder of angels watching over you and a positive energy when being worn or displayed. The turquoise and pearl pair well with the matte gold plated chain. The chain is high quality and will not tarnish, from my experience.
