Rendered in James Avery's clean linear style, the three crosses step down and across one another in an open, architectural composition that reads with real height and movement, far more sculptural than a single upright cross. The bail is integrated directly into the top of the tallest cross rather than added as a separate loop, so the upright continues unbroken into the hanging loop for a seamless, thoughtful finish. The polished bars catch the light along their length while the open negative space between them keeps the piece light and graphic. The hallmark is struck cleanly on the reverse. This is a meaningful and increasingly sought-after retired design, powerful in its symbolism and distinctive in its modern, elongated form. Included with the original James Avery box and pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003eDesigner: James Avery\u003cbr\u003eMetal: Sterling Silver\u003cbr\u003eHallmarks: STER, JA Candelabra\u003cbr\u003eMotif: Crosses of Calvary, three crosses\u003cbr\u003eBail: Integrated into the top cross\u003cbr\u003eStatus: Retired\u003cbr\u003eIncludes: Original James Avery box and pouch\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent estate condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFun Facts:\u003cbr\u003eJames Avery began handcrafting jewelry in 1954 in Kerrville, Texas, starting out in a two-car garage with a handful of tools before growing into one of the best-known American artisan jewelers.\u003cbr\u003eThe three crosses of Calvary recall the scene at Golgotha where Christ was crucified between two thieves, a grouping long used in Christian art to represent the crucifixion and the promise of redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Updated July 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53364502954349,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/8272\/0109\/files\/RETIRED_James_Avery_Sterling_Silver_Crosses_of_Calvary_Three_Cross_Pendant.jpg?v=1785110569","url":"https:\/\/silverqueenstudio.com\/products\/retired-james-avery-sterling-silver-crosses-of-calvary-three-cross-pendant","provider":"Silver Queen Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
