Dialogue des Carmélites Silver Necklace
Dialogue des Carmélites Silver Necklace. A long silver rosary style chain necklace, representing Blanche de la Force’s traumatic psychological journey after entering the Carmelite convent in Compiègne. At the end of the chain, where there would normally be a cross she finds the clean silver blade of the guillotine!

Thanks to Sally Matthews who is singing the role of Blanche for modelling the necklace.
