RETIRED James Avery Sterling Silver Olympic Torch Charm Pendant - UNCUT

This retired James Avery charm pendant is shaped as an Olympic-style torch, cast in solid sterling silver with a long tapered body and stylized flame rising from the top 🔥 The open cutwork along the torch shaft keeps the piece visually light while still giving it that unmistakable sculptural Avery feel.

The flame itself has a soft hand-finished look rather than sharp machine-perfect edges, which is part of what gives older James Avery charms their character ⚒️ The oxidized recessed areas create contrast around the flame and torch bands, helping the details stand out without making the piece feel overworked.

What makes this example especially desirable is the original UNCUT loop. Many Avery charms were clipped over the years to fit bracelets or chains differently, but this one remains intact exactly as it left the workshop 🔗 Collectors pay attention to that detail because it preserves originality and keeps the charm structurally untouched.

The torch motif naturally ties into themes of perseverance, victory, and enduring spirit, while still keeping that clean minimalist Avery design language that wears easily with almost anything 🏅 Includes the original James Avery box and pouch, which always makes retired pieces feel a little more complete.
