This retired James Avery heart pendant combines sterling silver scrollwork with warm solid 14K gold floral accents and a deep red heart-cut garnet at the center. The design has that unmistakable Avery balance — romantic without being overly ornate, with flowing vines and small golden flowers arranged around the gemstone. ❤️🌼
The garnet sits in a heart-shaped bezel-style setting that anchors the entire piece visually. Around it, the open sterling silver heart frame forms soft curling vines and leaves, while three small solid 14K gold flowers add contrast and warmth against the oxidized silver background. The two-tone combination gives the pendant depth and character while keeping the design unmistakably James Avery. ✨
At roughly three-quarters of an inch tall, it’s a nicely sized pendant that shows detail without feeling bulky. It hangs comfortably on most standard chains and carries that distinctive handcrafted Avery style collectors recognize immediately. The included James Avery box makes it even better for gifting or adding to a collection. 💛
This is a retired design, which makes it increasingly harder to find — especially with the original box and crisp hallmarks intact. A great piece for anyone who enjoys James Avery’s nature-inspired motifs and mixed-metal designs. 💎
