A photograph of Donatella Una taken in 1985 by a young Diavolo, then named Solido Naso, near a stele in La Costa Smeralda on the island of Sardinia. When he checked the results of Squadra Esecuzioni's investigations of Donatella's room, Diavolo spotted the photograph, which made Diavolo go to Sardinia as he sensed Trish was heading toward the island, thus guiding Team Bucciarati toward a place Moody Blues could investigate. Diavolo subsequently managed to kill Risotto Nero and Leone Abbacchio.

Anime Debut: Golden Wind Episode 26: A Little Story from the Past ~My Name is Doppio~
Diavolo can communicate with Doppio through any kind of object while not in control, granting his subordinate the belief that his alter ego is another person altogether. Although we haven't heard the quality of these "calls" yet and whether or not the objects alter the quality of Diavolo's voice, Doppio can always hear his alter ego's voice through the object. Doppio also, on occasion, forgets that he's been able to communicate with Diavolo, but he consistently has never realized he's been using a broken or non-phone object. These "phones" have ranged from ice cream to frogs, to cigarettes to toys, and of course, Doppio always carries on him a broken or dismantled phone headset.

Stone PendantEmporio's Mother's BoneJotaro's SubmarineEmporio's Gun"Like a Virgin"Emporio's Computer
A pendant resembling a beetle which was given to Jolyne Cujoh from her father Jotaro Kujo. It can be opened and in fact, contains a shard of an Arrow. Jolyne pricked herself with the Pendant and threw it away, only to be picked up by Ermes Costello. Ermes also pricked herself with it and she sold it to Gwess. Thus it served to awaken Stone Free, Kiss, and Goo Goo Dolls. Jolyne took it back from Gwess, and it accompanied her until Jolyne threw it toward her father in a fit of anger.
A bone given to Jolyne by Emporio. He tells her to hold onto the bone; by gripping it tightly, she wakes up from a hallucination caused by Whitesnake. Jotaro says it is the sacrum from an adult female human's pelvis. It appears to have been melted by an acid. Emporio later informs her the bone belonged to his late mother, who was killed by Whitesnake (hence the acid-melted appearance).
A mini-submarine Jotaro acquired from the Speedwagon Foundation. Positioning it near the island where Green Dolphin Street Prison is situated, Jotaro planned to break Jolyne out of prison and then escape with it. However, Jolyne decided to let Jotaro go alone and stayed in order to find whoever stole Jotaro's Star Platinum and memories.
A ghost gun Emporio uses sometimes, first by shooting at cockroaches in his ghost room. Emporio explains it is unable to cause harm, only cause noise. Its bullets can be affected by Kiss, as Emporio uses it in conjunction with Kiss during the battle against Made in Heaven.
Special bracelets emblazoned with the "GD" of Green Dolphin Street Prison. The Like a Virgin (ライク・ア・ヴァージン, Raiku A Virujin) bracelets are special devices attached to the wrists of prisoners going to work on the farms of the prison. Also known as "invisible walls", the bracelets explode if a prisoner strays further than 50m away from the guard wearing the main bracelet, a violent shock is applied, or if the prisoner tries to take them off. Only the main computer of the prison can unlock them. When the bracelets detect an impact, an alarm will ring from inside of them, alerting the prisoner. During their investigation of the farm and fight against Foo Fighters, Jolyne and Ermes are stuck with these on their wrists, making their battle more difficult.
A ghost computer Emporio uses sometimes and brings with him when he escapes the Green Dolphin Street prison. It proved instrumental in defeating Miu Miu when Emporio faxed an image in binary of the chief warden to Jolyne, enabling her to identify Miu Miu with only two memories. It was also crucial in fighting Donatello Versus when Emporio used it to make research on a plane crash in whose memory Jolyne and Ermes were trapped, enabling them to find a way to escape death.

However, a double of the teddy bear was summoned by Civil War and contributed to incapacitate Gyro by covering him with a membrane alongside other abandoned items.
A collar hanger bearing the crest of the Royal Family of Naples. It is the symbol of status of the royal executioners and stealing one of these is akin to insulting the whole country.

It was subsequently hidden in an English abbey until it was stolen during the 15th Century. Its whereabouts became unknown, until Funny Valentine found the map in the Parliament in 1889. He then used the map to organize the Steel Ball Run race.
A message sent via messenger pigeon by Ringo Roadagain to Funny Valentine. It contained the coordinates for the Spine of Jesus: 36° 6' 24" North, 94° 40' 6" West. Lucy Steel intercepted the message, and managed to take the Spine, giving it to Johnny and Gyro. However, its theft was noticed and set the government on a chase after her.
A pair of old horse riding boots originally owned by Nicholas Joestar who tragically died in an accident. One day, Johnny Joestar found out that his boots were too damaged for use, and sought to borrow Nicholas' boots.

Years later during the event of the story arc High Voltage, George would wave these boots in front of Johnny as a silent reconciliation.
A belt buckled consisting of two metallic plates on which are engraved two hands normally pointing downward as to emphasize the crotch when the belt is worn. The plates are designed to be in the ratio of the Golden Rectangle, making it a good scale for Spin users to produce an infinite rotation although they generally rely on observation of nature. Gyro would use the belt buckle to push Johnny to his limits, making him realize where to really look to see the Golden Rectangle. Johnny would learn to produce an infinite rotation by observing his surroundings and use the belt buckle to make a metal bullet which granted him victory over Sandman.
A handkerchief on which is embroidered the date "20 Sep. 1847", Funny Valentine's birth date. It was originally owned by Funny's biological father and the soldier used it as a memento of what he was resisting torture for. He hid it in his eye socket, enabling Capt. Valentine, his friend, to give it to Funny. It served to boost Valentine's resolve at the moment he was overcome by despair, facing the possibility of remaining buried alive forever due to Tusk ACT 4's infinite rotation. Thus, it indirectly allowed him to conceive one last plan to defeat Johnny Joestar.

An eye medicine, only remarkable in that it served as a distraction for Josefumi Kujo and Yoshikage Kira to steal branches of the Locacaca from Aisho Dainenjiyama. Josefumi and Yoshikage pretended that Eye Eye Syaa was a miracle medicine, pushing Aisho to take one and try it. They then used that distraction to their advantage, and Aisho was stolen from without knowing and thinking that the medicine was great.
The name references Hol Horse's catchphrase 'Aye Aye Sir' from Stardust Crusaders.
Cursed money tied to Milagro Man. It takes the form of a bill whose serial number always finishes with the number "13". The money multiplies itself through a curse, causing the victim to be unable to purchase anything and is able to shapeshift to mimic the local currency.

Joshu becomes the latest victim of the curse.
A dessert that the plant appraiser Rai Mamezuku creates for Josuke and Yasuho atop his ski-lift "home". Consisting of Romanoff (a golden cream made by combining meringue, sugar, and egg whites) and sliced strawberries, it is shown to be so delicious that it causes Josuke to cry and Yasuho to squeal with delight.
Larvae that Rai Mamezuku breeds in his home and keeps safe in vivariums. These larvae are used to accelerate fruit growth. By burrowing into a plant's vascular bundles, these insects can make it so a ripe fruit will develop within two days.
