Mrs Coulter's Locket
This locket was worn by the character Marisa Coulter, in the BBC HBO television show His Dark Materials. Mrs Coulter is Lyra’s mother. She is a passionate woman who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals, no matter the cost.
She took one dark blonde curl and put it in a little gold locket she had around her own neck...the woman held it to her lips.

Some quotes from young people about the character of Mrs Coulter are shared below. You can click on the images to enlarge them.
