After being lost and recovered in the final half of Season 4, Sophie Baek's beloved necklace is now in the possession of Yerin Ha. It's a keepsake the Bridgerton actress took home after her request for her character's masquerade mask was shot down.

"I did ask for the mask, but maybe they're saving it for some kind of Bridgerton World Exhibition later down the line. Who knows?" Ha laughed in an exclusive interview with Parade. "But I asked for my necklace because they said no to the mask, so I was able to keep that."
And to be clear, she wouldn't have taken that, or anything from set without asking. "I'm not a swiper. I swear. I always ask kindly," she said with a laugh.

The silver chain with the amethyst pendant belonged to Sophie's late mother. It went missing after Sophie and Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) spent a night together, and was later discovered by Thompson's character on the floor by his bed, leading him to realize that Sophie is, in fact, the Lady in Silver.
For Ha, bringing Sophie and Benedict's intimate moments to life wasn't without nerves. The Bridgerton star was admittedly "super nervous" going into filming them.

"Even when I booked the job like that was very much the second thought that I had was like, 'I have to do intimacy scenes now,'" she confessed. "So that was crazy."
But, Ha praised working with the show's intimacy coordinator, Lizzy Talbot. "When you work with an intimacy coordinator like Lizzy it's so amazing, and she doesn't make you lose spontaneity," the actress shared. "If anything, I feel like she creates. It's a canvas and a blueprint where you are able to be spontaneous."

"Thank God for her, but also thank God that I was able to build such a trust with Luke, where it got to the point where I was able to reframe my mind in thinking that these scenes [weren 't] intimacy scenes, they were a deeper dive into these two characters and their love for each other," Ha added. "So when I framed it like that, it then became so much easier."
One of those steamy scenes unfolded in a bathtub in Part 2, which premiered February 26. Yet, it was the emotional exchange between Sophie and Benedict leading up to the moment that Ha found empowering.
"I always return to like the pre-bathtub scene when Benedict goes, like, 'Of course, of course,' and he just holds her, and I feel like that physical gesture really encapsulates just the desire for, you know, someone who's maybe traumatized and in pain of just having somebody just wrap you in something warm. I think is such a beautiful image," Ha said. "So, yeah, I've learned a lot."
Among her takeaways from playing Sophie were to not be afraid to stand up for oneself and to own your voice, though the latter she's learned throughout her career. Despite playing a romantic lead in a hit Netflix series, life doesn't feel any different for Ha, whose acting credits also include Dune: Prophecyand Halo.
"Everything that I'm doing is the same. Like I'm the same person. Nothing feels like it's changed," she admitted. "I know that's a really weird answer, but it's hard for me to grasp. I feel like maybe someone like [Heated Rivalry's] Hudson Williams might have had a very different experience. Like that looks insane, but for me, it's just been really sweet. I mean, mine is the occasional fan interaction on the street or at a restaurant and they're all very sweet. It's been very tame."

While she laughed about still looking for her next job, Ha would love to return to Bridgerton for another season. "I love the Bridgerton family. Also, I'm still new to it. You know what I mean? Like I still have energy," she said. "I would love to be back to a workplace that I've just had so much fun working in."

Plus, there is still more she'd like to explore with her and Luke's characters. "I would love to see what a happy Benedict and Sophie relationship looks like with their dynamic. And then I would also love to see just Sophie deepen her relationship with the Bridgerton siblings," Ha said. "But I have no idea what's happening. I haven't read the script, so we'll see."
