This retired James Avery sterling silver charm is one of the most sought after pieces the house ever made: the company logo itself rendered as a wearable tag. The front carries the JA candelabra in deep relief, three candles with flames rising above the interlocking J and A, set against an oxidized textured field with STERLING struck cleanly across the bottom edge and the registered mark tucked beside it. The reverse is stamped JAMES AVERY CRAFTSMAN INC with the copyright symbol above, a form of the company signature that dates the piece and adds real appeal for collectors who track the different marks. The tag has softly rounded corners, a substantial raised border on both faces, and a heavy uncut loop that hangs it properly on a charm bracelet or chain. Detail on this example is exceptional, with every candle, letter, and stamp reading crisp and sharp. Retired and extremely rare, with only a handful ever surfacing on the secondary market at any given time. Comes with the James Avery box and pouch.
