The description says it's "laser engraved" however when I got my pendant it looked more stamped on and like the paint didn't stick to it on one section, (??) not sure what that's about but it's fine. Also, the pendant itself is not matte like in the picture, it's actually a mirror, (I'm not complaining I actually really love it!) I hope this review doesn't deter anyone from buying this product, it is a really nice pendant!
