The Rings of Power, themselves, could be considered relics; in fact the Dwarven Rings were handed down through many generations. One could say the same for the Silmarils.

Every sword with a name (Narsil, Orcrist, Glamdring, Angrist, etc.), and even a few that did not, including the dagger from Gondolin Bilbo named "Sting", and the blades of Westernesse given by Bombadil to the hobbits at the Barrows (having runes and spells cast on them).

The Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin (unaccounted for after the Battle of Tumhalad).

The Palantiri.

The Elessar (Elfstone).

The Arkenstone.

The Nauglamír (the Silmaril is accounted for, the necklace is not).

The Phial of Galadriel (left with Frodo when he sailed into the West).

The Crown of Elendil (royal crown of Gondor).

The Sceptre of Annúminas (said to over 5,000 years old when Aragorn wielded it as king and was accounted the oldest surviving artifact in Middle-earth made by Numenoreans).

Star of the Dúnedain (worn by each Ranger of Arnor).

Necklace of Girion (became the property of Bard after the destruction of Smaug).
