RETIRED James Avery 3D Basketball Sterling Silver Sports Charm Pendant
Retired James Avery 3D basketball charm crafted in solid sterling silver 🏀 The piece is fully dimensional — not flat or stamped — with seam lines wrapping around the sphere just like a real basketball. The proportions are clean and balanced, giving it that unmistakable James Avery weight and presence in miniature form.
At approximately 1/2 inch in diameter, it’s small but substantial, with a smooth high-polish surface that reflects light across the curved panels. The loop is UNCUT, which is important for collectors who prefer the original factory configuration 🔥
Marked STER along with the James Avery candelabra hallmark, confirming authenticity. This design has been retired, making it harder to source — especially with the uncut loop and original James Avery box included 📦✨
