Chalcedony waves

The chalcedony waves was the name of a necklace that belonged to the women of the House of Organa, the royal family of Alderaan. Queen Breha Organa owned that necklace at some point, before passing it down to her adopted daughter, Princess Leia Organa. Although Alderaan was destroyed by the Galactic Empire, the chalcedony waves survived the planet's disappearance, as the princess had been offworld herself. After the Alliance to Restore the Republic defeated the Empire over Yavin 4, Leia wore the chalcedony waves during a ceremony honoring the Alliance heroes of Yavin. Shortly thereafter, she offered the necklace to the Sullustan Nien Nunb, as a reward for his help evacuating Alderaanian survivors from Sullust.
