I don't have any fancy jewelry, but I do collect old magazines, comics, signed prints, art books, knick knacks, etc. But to my surprise I just found out a book I bought for $60 in 2003, is fetching up to $3000 on Ebay. That's it. Maybe you have something of sentimental value thats worth more.
My wallet, with access to all of my bank accounts, brokerage accounts, and credit card accounts. I don't really have any physical objects that hold a great deal of sentimental value for me. Memories hold the most sentimental value for me, but I can't hold them in my hand.
I go with my car keys... Although the older I get the less I am into cars. Once I get one, I'm like "eh what am I gonna get next."
I have a case of wine (12 bottles) that I could sell and purchase a nice used car with... Now the challenge would be finding someone to pay the market value or close to it. Wine kinda reminds me of comic books and baseball cards. All these cards and comic books have high values, but finding someone to pay top dollar is often hard.
I have an oil painting on German ceramic that my grandfather bought in Italy in 1902 while he was on the "Grand Tour" of Europe on his honeymoon. He wrote letters home to his mother describing what they saw and did. His wife got sick in Paris so he had an American nurse join them but shortly after their return his wife died. He then married the nurse who was my grandmother.
I had the painting appraised on Antiques Roadshow about 20 years ago and they valued it at about $5000.
Not most valuable money wise, but it would be hard to replace my 1975 Les Paul Standard I bought new in 1976. Money wise, my credit card of course! LOL Or one of my Morgan silver dollars. I have an 1884 MS 66 DMPL that's worth quite a bit.
A throttle and Wheel - that's attached to my boat!
But seriously, my grandkids and my daughters.
I'd also have to say the chairs, library table and dining room set that are from my grandparents house that are pretty valuable antiques, both sentimentally and probably financially as well. The sentiment is what matters.

My house keys. My car keys.

Gawker, that's an interesting story about your grandfather and grandmother.
Disturbing but brilliant!
"a mom's letters when I was young and she was...not around."
This has to be the winner! Truly brilliant! ;)

I've tried to think of valuable things, but nothing is more valuable than this 8.5 inch black dick that make bitches cum all over the world :)
My divorce papers.
Most valuable thing I've received in 40 some years.
Freedom from being under her thumb.... Priceless.
