RETIRED James Avery 925 Sterling Silver Rose Covered Cross Charm Pendant Rosebud
This retired James Avery sterling silver cross pendant reshapes the classic cross as a living rose vine, with a full open rose blooming at the center intersection and rosebuds capping the ends of the arms and crown. Sculpted leaves climb the length of the stem, and the darkened recesses throw the polished blooms and foliage into high relief, giving the whole piece real dimension and a hand-carved feel. The rose and cross together carry deep symbolic weight, pairing faith with the beauty and brevity of the bloom. As a retired design, it is no longer produced by James Avery, making it a sought-after piece for collectors of the brand. The crisp candelabra maker's mark and 925 stamp are clean and well struck. Comes with the original James Avery box and pouch.
