Minor Items
This is a list of minor items appearing in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and related medias.
The items featured in this list do not have enough information to justify an article, mainly due to lack of relevance, but are still notable.
Part 1: Phantom Blood
Dario Brando's Letter
A letter sent by Dario Brando to George Joestar asking him to take care of his son Dio. It was then put into a box in the library of the Joestar Mansion and forgotten, but when Jonathan discovered it by accident, he saw that Dario was suffering the same symptoms as the then-sick George before his death. It led Jonathan to suspect Dio of having poisoned his own father and George as well.
The address on the letter is changed from "225 Baker Street East, Liverpool" to "221B Baker Street, Liverpool" in the anime, making it a Sherlock Holmes reference.
Oriental Poison
A slow poison from Asia sold by Wang Chan to Dio Brando. Dio used that poison to kill his own father and disguise his murder as sickness, and planned to do the same with George Joestar. When Jonathan found Wang Chan, it instead incriminated Dio.
Statue of the Goddess of Love
A statue of a woman draped in a toga holding a jar. It represents the Goddess of Love, said to be the guardian of the Joestar Family. Situated in the main hall of the Joestar Mansion near the main stairs, it was used to impale Dio when the Mansion was burning down, imprisoning the Vampire in the inferno.
Luck and Pluck
Initially named "Luck", this was the name of the sword belonging to legendary knight Bruford, which he would use in conjunction with his prehensile hair in combat. When a resurrected Bruford was defeated at the hands of Jonathan Joestar, he came to respect the young man and granted him his sword, using his own blood to re-baptize it "Luck & Pluck". The blade proved a precious and invaluable weapon during Jonathan's battle with Dio.
Dio's Coffin
Dio used a reinforced and booby-trapped coffin carved with his name in golden capital letters as a shelter on the boat which transported Jonathan and Erina to America. Though Dio planned to use it to shelter himself with Jonathan's body, it became a makeshift lifeboat for Erina, her unborn child, and the infant Lisa Lisa when the boat exploded and sank.
It then somehow served as Dio's shelter at the bottom of of the Atlantic Ocean, and the coffin wouldn't be pulled back to the surface until 1983, freeing the Vampire from his underwater tomb.
Part 2: Battle Tendency
Ripple conducting Scarf
A scarf made with the yarn of a fictional insect called Sathiphorosia Scarab. Crafted from 30,000 scarabs, these type of scarfs were used by both Straizo and his student Lisa Lisa.

Anti Ripple Wires
Special metallic wires at whose end is attached a hook crafted by the Pillar Men as a defensive and offensive weapon against Ripple users. Attached to the user's head, they can create small tornadoes strong enough to destroy a Ripple infused projectile when the user shakes his head.

Ripple Breathing Mask
A metal mask specially designed to train people to breathe in order to produce the Ripple. It is straped to the user's head, covering both the nose and mouth and cannot be removed without outside help.

Photographs Joseph Joestar has taken by smashing a camera with his hand and Hermit Purple. During the events of Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable, they would serve to give clues to the Joestar Group about their enemies.

Another photograph would hint the group about DIO's lair, facilitating their journey.
In Diamond is Unbreakable, one spirit photograph warned Jotaro Kujo and Josuke Higashikata about Anjuro Katagiri. The threat of the photographs also lured Akira Otoishi in the open, enabling his defeat.

In accord with Aya's view that miracles take dedication, after Yukako upgrades to "capturing love", the lipstick must be applied by Yukako every 30 minutes every day, except when sleeping, to keep the charm on. Failure to do so results in getting ugly and the eventual crumbling of whatever feature was modified by Cinderella.
Kira's Record and Bottled Nails
As a hobby, Yoshikage Kira has been keeping a record of his nails' growth over the years since 1983 detailing the growth of each nail including the toenails, moreover he stored his nails into small glass bottles, labeling each by the year of the nails' collection and keeping them stored in a cabinet for an unknown reason.
While his nails ordinarily grow by around 8 centimeters a month, they sometime grow at an accelerated rate, reaching 30 centimeters a month. A rapid growth served to indicate whenever Kira had the best "hunting luck". Jotaro Kujo and Josuke Higashikata found the record in Kira's house.

Diavolo subsequently managed to kill Risotto Nero and Leone Abbacchio.
Doppio's "Phones"
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 all together. 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.
