A Friendship Trinket is an object that is kept by one or two characters to symbolise their friendship or trust towards another character. The item is often something the friends had since they were children such as hair ornaments, necklaces or something that has been split in half for them to share. It can also be given as a token of gratitude after one character saves or helps another.

* In ''Fanfic/TheConfectionaryChronicles'', Hermione gives Millicent Bullstrode one of a pair of hairclips she received for her birthday as the equivalent of this. It’s unclear if Hermione is fully aware of the implications of this act, but it’s particularly touching to Millicent as it affirms that Hermione sees her as someone to be valued when Millicent has spent most of her life being looked down for being the half-hag daughter of a pureblood family.

* In ''Series/AnneWithAnE'', [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Anne and Diana]] have matching halves of a heart-shaped locket.
