James Avery 3D Squirrel 925 Sterling Silver Animal Ring - RETIRED HTF - Size 5
This James Avery ring is cast in solid sterling silver and features a fully sculpted squirrel perched across the top of the band 🐿️ The form is three-dimensional, with the body raised above the finger and the tail curling upward, giving it real presence instead of sitting flat.
The surface carries that slightly textured, hand-finished look Avery is known for, especially through the tail and body where the detailing gives it a natural, lifelike feel. It’s not overly polished smooth—there’s just enough texture to catch light and define the shape without losing the sculptural quality.
The squirrel is positioned across a branch-like base that blends into the band, keeping the structure solid while still feeling organic. From the side, the height is noticeable, but the way the band tapers underneath keeps it wearable and balanced.
This is a retired design, and at the time of listing, this appears to be the only example currently available on the open market. Animal forms from James Avery—especially more detailed, full-figure pieces like this—don’t surface often, and when they do, they tend to move quickly among collectors.
It also includes the original James Avery box and pouch, which adds to the overall presentation and collectibility.
