Jewelry Designs Inspired by Star Wars Characters

The Star Wars franchise is filled with lavish set pieces, futuristic costumes, and many iconic designs. Despite all the big budgets and adventures, you do not see a lot of jewelry in the films. When a key character does wear pieces of jewelry, they certainly stand out and have become iconic over the years.

As you look for jewelry pieces for yourself or to gift others, consider a design inspired by the Star Wars franchise. Iconic characters have brought several pieces of jewelry into the mix through multiple trilogies and spin-off movies.

Princess Leia's Ceremonial Necklace

At the end of the first film, Star Wars: A New Hope, Princess Leia holds a ceremony to honor the heroes for the adventure they just went on. Despite giving medals to Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, the necklace that Leia wears stands out more than anything.

The silver design includes large square pendants that extend across the necklace. The pendants sit flat against the skin and are evenly spaced. While you may not find an exact replica, you can shop for large necklace options. Look for patterned pendant designs, preferably in square shapes.

As you shop, check out collections of estate jewelry where unique pieces similar to Leia's necklace may be a part of the mix.

Padme Amidala's Pendant

In Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, the relationship between Padme and Anakin begins pretty quickly. One of the main symbols representing their love is a pendant that Anakin gifts Padme. The small carved pendant is strung on a leather band. The pendant itself is carved from the fictional Japor tree.

While Star Wars did sell official replicas of the necklace, you can find inspiration for your own jewelry as opposed to an exact copy. For example, you could look for necklaces or jewelry pieces with wooden elements built into the design. A necklace could feature a wooden pendant base with a gem attached. Carved wooden pendants are also a common option.

Poe Dameron's Necklace

In the newest Star Wars trilogy, one of the more subtle pieces of jewelry is worn by the pilot Poe Dameron. Poe wears a simple chain with a ring hanging from the necklace. Hanging rings from a necklace is a classic tradition and unique way to mix two forms of jewelry together.

When you shop for jewelry, you can shop directly for a ring attached to a necklace chain or make your own creation. Shop through the rings first to find a style you like. Then shop for a chain that will match the design. Typical options include gold, silver, and white gold.

One of the main benefits of shopping for a ring for use on a necklace is that you do not have to worry about the size. You can browse through new rings and estate jewelry to find any ring you like without needing adjustments.

Jyn Erso's Crystal Necklace

The crystals used to make lightsabers are known as kyber crystals and in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, we see kyber crystal used like never before. As a young girl, the main character, Jyn Erso, is gifted a kyber crystal necklace from her mother. The crystal becomes a symbol of strength for Jyn and is featured throughout the movie.

You can find similar designs with a crystal pendant necklace. The one in the movie is clear in color and features a pointed end - many crystal shards showcase a similar design.
