obsidian journal? steel journal? earthenware journal? Doesn't really work. You need to keep in mind these are crafts, and what they will be made out of.

[Meph]

Actually, I like the journal idea. ^^ I can use the book-tile I already have, freeing one tile for something new.

[Crioca]

custom rings/amulets/bracelets that can actually be assigned to dwarves and have effects.

Oh! Could this include beard ornaments? I'm not sure if there's a specific name for facial hair ornaments...

Crafts. What can they be changed to?

Compass? I always felt dwarves would travel with a compass.

Also walking sticks would be cool.

Have you seen some of the absurd things Necromancers like to make the covers of their books out of?

[BoffoDorf]

oh I'm sorry, I so mis-read that, I was naming useless trinkets to sell off to the caravans 

What dorf lady doesn't want beard ribbons? Facial ornaments sound great.

[Lithandrill]

I can't believe no one mentioned this one yet:

Scabbards! Obviously it would be great if they could be used to give civilians a weapon like a quiver or a backpack, but I am going to go on a limb here and say that code-wise this would be a nightmare, if at all possible.

Compass? I always felt dwarves would travel with a compass.

Given that they are dwarfs maybe a broken compass would be more appropriate.

A souvenir (or memento)
An engraving (as apposed to a photo)
And... well think about it, your a migrant, heading off to some horrible place crawling with undead, surrounded by goblins, being attacked from above and below, where the very air you breath might just liquify your insides, if your lucky, and in the shadow of a necromancers tower. What would you bring? Last will and testament.

If you can assign items to pets, give them collars for various protections.  Use either a ring or amulet tile.  Cloth and a gem and maybe a magical reagent to make.
 
On the dwarf side of things, a bag of pet treats!  Either boost their own pets/work animals fighting skills for a time, or make it so any pet nearby can get treats for boosts.
 
Use a bit of paper to make a map of the fort, to improve speed.  (Hee hee:  Post it on a sign for a "you are here" directory for a temporary boost to passing dwarves.)
 
Use journals to make manuals for dwarves to hold and consult.  These would confer greater learning speed, less than guild caste, but better than regular dwarves.
 
Your new mages might want to wield a staff, for fighting and magic casting.

Scales and weights.

Dishes, pots, pans, skillets, cookware, jars, silverware.

Wagon wheels? Axels?

Handles, for cabinets/doors, etc? Hinges?

Locks!! Chests?

Mirrors?

Torchholders, brazers, etc?

I currently have :

Scepter => Scabbard
Ring => Journal (using the book tile, freeing one tile)
Earring => Abacus

Crown => Hourglass (rather useless atm)
Bracelet => Dice (rather useless atm)

Figurine => ...
Amulet => ...

I like the oil lamp/mirror ideas. And the map with the "you are here" reaction, thats great. I think figurines are nice as they are, and I the amulet tile looks great, but I cant equip a craft, so I have to redo one as a clothing/armor part. The amulet has to go for sure.

Mugs/Drinking Utensils - Honestly, I think these should just be there for drinking. Do they automatically spawn with these? Or do they drink from the barrels via hands..

No, silly! They use the beards as a sponge, that way no drop of precious alcohol goes to waste.

[Kazymir]

Charms or Icons? Many dorfs are religious.

[Lemunde]

Oh, Oh, I got it. Menacing Spikes!
Now you too, can make your own artifacts with genuine dwarven menacing spikes! Ages larva and up.

This menacing spike menaces with spikes of menacing spikes!

Edit: I'm pretty sure I just described a tree...

[Meph]

Only if its a fractal tree.
