James Avery Rare Retire me honey bee dangle ring

James Avery Sterling silver charm ring, retired Rare retired bee charm attached 1st generation bumblebee I was recently made aware that the bee charm attached to this ring has now been retired and is considered rare. This ring is pretty vintage but I assumed that the same bee was sold at JA but James Avery has confirmed with me that this bee on my ring is their first edition and is not the same as the current version. Please view the last two photos for comparison. The stinger, body, and eyes on the vintage charm are very different. Not sure if this makes a difference to buyers but some vintage collectors may like this information so I thought to update my listing! Preowned but in good condition! I’m cleaning out some of my charm rings from my JA collection so check my closet for more!
