Dean Winchester's golden amulet is a defining aspect of his look in the TV series, Supernatural, and has a deeper meaning beyond just a fashion accessory. The necklace appears in all four seasons, and is revealed to be a Christmas gift from Sam in season 3.
Despite the brothers' estrangement, Dean continues to wear the amulet throughout the series, showing his unwavering loyalty to Sam. Later in season 5, Dean throws the amulet away after realizing he doesn't need an object to represent his emotions for his brother. The amulet symbolizes the passing of time for Dean as he faces more dangers in Supernatural, and ultimately shows his emotional strength without relying on relics from the past.
