[[spoiler: It was owned by Neimi's [[MissingMom deceased mother]], a high-ranked cleric.]] Actually the only reason they decide to help her is that Eirika and Seth are chasing after her bracelet, which had been stolen [[spoiler: by Colm]].
** Neimi's supports with RetiredBadass Garcia reveal that she actually has ''two'' OPT's. The second is her archery gauntlet, which belonged to her dead grandfather Zethla; she modified it for her use, and we get a nice talk about Zethla's legendary archery skill and legacy when Garcia sees it.

* Played straight in ''VideoGame/CastleOfTheWinds'' with the Amulet of Kings.
* Dart from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon'' retrieved a shiny red stone which belonged to his father from the ashes of his DoomedHometown.

* Kid's Astral Amulet in ''VideoGame/ChronoCross''. Also a MementoMacGuffin.
* Jet Enduro from ''VideoGame/WildARMS3'' got something a little more practical than a piece of jewelry: a freaking machine gun. Called Airgetlamh (a ContinuityNod to a legendary sword from an earlier game), it is the only ARM that Jet can use because [[spoiler: he is an ArtificialHuman. Regular people are able to use ARMS because they are descended from demons. Being a sample of the planet itself, Jet cannot wield the power of demons.]]
* The Kid in ''VideoGame/JakIIRenegade'' had an amulet around his neck, marking him as Haven City's lost heir to the throne. As it turns out, [[spoiler: it was an indicator of Jak's heritage and proof positive that he was Damas's son.]]
* ''VideoGame/SummonNight: Swordcraft Story 2'' combines OrphansPlotTrinket with MementoMacGuffin[=/=]TransformationTrinket, seeing as Edgar/Aera's father and mother are both dead when the story starts.
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}''. The first time you see [[TomboyPrincess Kumatora]], she drops a magical pendant. Later on, when she joins your party, you find out the pendant is just a defensive item with awful stats.

* Athena's earring in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'', which her mother made for her [[spoiler:from the valuable moon rock that the Phantom had tried to steal, and later to destroy.]] As the only known [[spoiler:fragment of the moon rock]], it becomes important [[spoiler:to prove that the unknown rock found in the wreckage of the bombed Courtroom No. 4 was also a fragment of the moon rock and that the Phantom's blood on said rock proved that he was Metis Cykes's killer, whom Athena had stabbed.]]
* The player's pendant in VideoGame/AvencastRiseOfTheMage.
* Agnès' pendant in ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'', given to her by the Sage Yulyana. Doubles as an in-game phlebotinum that grants the party the Abilink system. [[spoiler: Yulyana got the pendant from "the angel" he and DeRosso encountered 1800 years ago, which greatly resembles Agnès and is heavily hinted to be the Agnès of one of the worlds already linked by Airy. The pendant is also the key to defeat Ouroboros, since it ''really'' connects the party to other dimensions which grant power to the heroes: those other dimensions are ''your friends' (Bravely Default) worlds''.]]
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', when the Inquisitor asks Sera if she has any memories of her birth family:
-->'''Sera:''' Well, there is the amulet I had as an orphan that has a missing piece and ''look at your face!'' You believe me!
** The trope was played fairly straight in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', however. Speaking with Alistair, he reveals that as a child he had been given an amulet that used to belong to his mother; sadly, he no longer has it, as he threw it against a wall and broke it during an argument he had with Arl Eamon regarding his being sent to the chantry. Snooping around in Arl Eamon's study reveals that Eamon had taken the time to repair the amulet and kept it, allowing you to give it to Alistair as a present. May be a subverted trope in hindsight; the reveal that Alistair's mother [[spoiler: was actually Fiona, an elven mage ex-Warden, rather than the human servant he had been told she was]] puts it into doubt whether the amulet was really hers or not. A Dalish warden can also be given one, if they can convince their foster mother to tell them what happened to their birth parents.
* ''VideoGame/StellaGlow'' sets it up early. In the beginning of the game, you're introduced to the local shopkeepers, Bianca and Franz, as well as Franz's daughter Rena. [[spoiler: Franz doesn't survive the WhamEpisode, leaving poor Rena to be your shopkeeper for the Orb shop. Just before the final battles, she reveals an orb of her own that she'd created using the techniques her father had taught her, and it's a powerful Orb--guaranteed crits against Angels.]]

Antonio Reyes has an old, broken pocketwatch that belonged to his father, [[spoiler:head of security at the pillow factory who then died when its AI burned the place down.]] He has to repair it, and it serves a plot purposes to [[spoiler:open the Pillow Factory's door by tricking the security system.]]
