What is the best word to describe an "object of importance" without inquiring about it'sits past? (i.e. not memento)

I'm looking for a word to describe a gift. The way I am using this word is to describe the the item in way that a person who receives this gift would almost worshipsworship it because it means so much.

The words that I do NOT think work in describing this object include: memento, souvenir, keepsake, memorial (things that make you think about the past)

I'm looking for a word that is SIMILAR to: treasure, idol, pearl (a word that gives significance to the object more it's meaning or origin)
