RETIRED James Avery 925 Sterling Silver Descending Dove Cross Necklace Pendant
This retired James Avery cross pendant is crafted in solid sterling silver with a clean, softly tapered cross form and a descending dove motif flowing through the center. The design is simple at first glance, but the raised dove creates just enough depth and movement to keep the piece from feeling flat or overly formal.
The cross has Avery’s recognizable sculptural styling, with slightly flared ends and smooth polished surfaces that catch light across the broad silver face. The descending dove at the center symbolizes peace and the Holy Spirit, integrated directly into the cross instead of applied as a separate charm. That integrated design gives the pendant a more intentional, balanced look than many traditional religious pendants.
The piece includes its original James Avery box and pouch as well, which collectors always appreciate.
