Most costumes and accessories in Star Wars were made for the films – but Princess Leia’s jewelry from the medal ceremony scene at the end of A New Hope was store bought, and used in the film unmodified. Carrie Fisher wore the ‘Darina’s’ bracelet and ‘Planetoid Valleys’ necklace, which were designed by Bjorn Weckstrom for Lapponia in Finland.

George Lucas had initially contacted Bjorn to design a necklace specifically for the film, but due to a change in schedule, the production team needed the jewelry sooner than expected. As the new design was unable to be completed in time, existing Lapponia jewelry was purchased from a London retailer – though the intended necklace design ‘Poema’ was eventually manufactured as a limited release in the 1990’s.
