Presenting a Spectacular Vintage Sterling Silver ‘Carla Lily’ Torque Necklace by Amanda Cox, hallmarked 2003—a wonderful opportunity to own one of the most elegant and exquisitely crafted pieces I’ve had the pleasure of offering in a very long time.
This necklace embodies pure, refined simplicity: a design where every curve serves a purpose and nothing feels overstated. It drapes around the neck with effortless grace, its sculptural form enhancing rather than overwhelming. One end blossoms into the signature Carla Lily, beautifully flared and organically shaped, while a central freshwater pearl is secured with a slender sterling silver pin, creating a soft, luminous focal point.
The opposite side sweeps forward in a gentle, perfectly balanced curve—an understated counterpoint that completes the harmony of the piece. Its craftsmanship is outstanding, the kind of meticulous work only an artist like Amanda Cox could achieve.
The mechanism to wear it is a beautifully made swivel joint at the back, a testament to exceptional silversmithing. This very design is still made and sold today on her website, proving that truly great design never fades. The current retail price is £686.
This substantial yet comfortable torque weighs 69.5 grams. The inner width across the lily end measures 13.7 cm, and the lily itself measures approximately 1.7 cm wide by 2.7 cm long, making it a perfectly proportioned piece of wearable sculpture.
Timeless in design and extraordinarily versatile, this is a necklace you can pair with anything—from a relaxed denim shirt to the most classic black dress. It is jewellery that elevates without effort, a true collector’s piece that brings elegance to every occasion.
