RETIRED James Avery Unity Cross Sterling Silver Holy Trinity Charm Pendant
This retired James Avery Unity Cross charm pendant is crafted in solid sterling silver with an openwork Celtic-inspired design centered around the Holy Trinity symbol. The layered knotwork flows continuously through the cross rather than stopping at each section, giving the piece a more unified sculptural look instead of a flat stamped appearance.
The center circle and interwoven lines create depth from almost every angle, while the cutout design keeps the pendant lightweight and easy to wear. Avery’s softer hand-finished edges help the piece feel more organic than sharply geometric, which works especially well with faith-inspired designs like this.
One of the stronger details on this example is the crisp “AVERY” and “STER” markings on the reverse. On retired Avery charms, cleaner stamps tend to stand out since many older pieces soften over time from polishing and wear. This example also retains its original uncut loop and includes the James Avery box and pouch.
