trinket
Cheap little charm
A trinket is a small ornament or piece of jewelry, typically inexpensive and of little value: a box of trinkets from the gift shop, She wore cheap trinkets around her neck.
The word often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting something decorative but worthless—the kind of thing accumulated on vacation or found at flea markets.
