Sometimes it's The Final Temptation, or sometimes the Big Bad is just trying to sucker The Hero out of their soul/romantic partner/superpowers. So he tempts the hero: not with a long and happy life, not with power, wisdom or practical wealth, but with a sparkling, gem-encrusted tool of his trade. The trick is that, while shiny, the object is of no practical value; its sole purpose is to look appetizing to the temptee. Often, the temptuous object is placed alongside a similar but less sparkly object, and the hero is forced to choose between them; in such a case, they are expected to realize that the object in question is basically worthless, or worse; an Artifact of Death. Compare Artifact of Doom (which is crafted not from Temptation but from pure evil), MacGuffin (which can be crafted from anything; we don't care), and Deal with the Devil. If something is actually made of temptation, see Insubstantial Ingredients. See also The Final Temptation. If the temptuousness has broad appeal (and this appeal is regardless of blinged-out-ness) then it's probably an Artifact of Attraction. |

Enchanted Forest Chronicles: Book 1 (Dealing With Dragons) discusses this. There are two dippers next to the Water of Healing. The correct one to use is plain tin. The other is gold and gem-encrusted, and turns you to stone if you pick it up. The prince knew that he wasn't supposed to use the gold one and just picked it up to look instead of using it, then thought quick and stuck his arm in the spring as soon as he started to stiffen up, which is why he ended up a mobile statue instead of being Taken for Granite like the others. | |

And in another adaptation, Robin Hood just couldn't resist an archery contest. | |

The cave in "Aladdin" is, according to many tellings, full of all kinds of wondrous and shiny things that will cause certain death if touched and serve only to distract visitors from the real treasure (the lamp). The Disney film, in fact, has Abu looking at a huge, sparkling ruby. After he touches it, the cave starts collapsing. |

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade features an entire room of Temptation-Crafted Holy Grails, ranging from plain metal to huge, gem-covered chandelierettes. The real Grail was, of course, a small, wooden cup. | |

Turkish Delight from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The White Witch offers this to Edmund, which is enchanted so that anyone who eats it wants more and more. She tells Edmund that if he returns bringing his brother and sisters with him, she could offer him some more. | |
