Retired James Avery Solid 14K Yellow Gold Open Heart Scroll Charm Pendant
This retired James Avery charm pendant is crafted in solid 14K yellow gold with an open heart silhouette and inward curling scroll design. Rather than using stones or heavy ornamentation, the piece relies on clean shaping and balanced curves, giving it the warm, understated look that made many early Avery gold charms so recognizable.
The openwork construction keeps the charm light and easy to wear while still giving it noticeable depth from the side. The softly tapered heart outline flows directly into the mirrored scrolls at the center, creating a design that feels decorative without becoming overly ornate. It has that distinctly handcrafted James Avery character where the shape itself carries the visual interest.
This example includes the original James Avery box and pouch, which collectors always appreciate with retired pieces. The loop also appears to remain intact in its original form.

Fun facts:
• James Avery began handcrafting jewelry in Kerrville, Texas in 1954, and many of the company’s early designs were inspired by faith, love, and everyday symbolism rather than fashion trends alone.
• Open heart jewelry became especially popular in the late 20th century because the design symbolizes love without barriers or restriction, making it one of the most enduring charm motifs ever produced.
