This retired James Avery charm is crafted from solid 14K gold and designed as a stylized eighth note (quaver), one of the most recognizable symbols in musical notation. The note head features the Ichthus fish symbol, creating a thoughtful blend of music and Christian symbolism. The smooth sculpted form gives the piece a clean, modern look while still reflecting the simple, meaningful style James Avery is known for. 🎵 The Ichthus, sometimes called the “Jesus fish,” has been used as a symbol of Christianity since the earliest centuries of the faith. Early Christians used the fish symbol as a quiet identifier among believers, as the Greek word Ichthys formed an acronym representing “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.” In this design, the symbol is subtly integrated into the note head, making the charm meaningful without being overly ornate. ✝️ This charm is marked with the James Avery candelabra hallmark and 14K gold stamp, confirming its authenticity. It remains especially desirable because the original jump ring loop is uncut, which collectors strongly prefer since many Avery charms were altered or soldered onto bracelets over time. The charm can easily be worn on a chain or added to a bracelet while preserving its original condition. ✨ This example also includes an authentic James Avery box, making it an especially nice presentation piece for gifting or collecting. 📦 The combination of music and faith themes makes this retired design particularly appealing for musicians, church musicians, choir members, or anyone who connects music with spiritual expression. 🎶 Verifications:Gold has been verified using an Auracle Gold Analyzer.
