Suspensa

Suspensas were Naboo fashion accessories that consisted of a dangling ornament, such as gold-colored orichalc chains, strings of white veda pearls and glass filaments, or black beads.^[2] When the human female Padmé Amidala was the Queen of Naboo, she wore them with multiple royal garments.^[1] Her Shiraya fan headdress had clusters of glass filaments in a "veil of tears" that suggested her profound sadness.^[3] Many of her suspensa ornaments came from the treasure rooms in Theed Royal Palace.^[2]

At the end of the Clone Wars, when Amidala was the Senator of her homeworld, she wore a pair of heirloom suspensas on her earlobes^[4] when she told her husband, Anakin Skywalker, that she was pregnant.^[5]
