I'll lay it out in as much detail as I can, because i thought about it waiting for your reply. They weren't created at the originating event, they aren't props and they didn't inspire creators, they just sort of ARE. They're a manifestation of the characters in all of their reimaginings and interpretations. Once a character enters the public consciousness to become an entity more than an individual, the artifact started existing.

Thus we have thwe Golden Lasso. Not Wonderwoman's Lasso, because that ties it to a specirfic Wonderwoman. It just is the Lasso and always has been, no matter how she is portrayed. It's sort of the nexus around which the idea of Wonderwoman exists.

Because at some point, with all the recons and edits and movies and writers they have stopped being characters. Like, what do you know about Batman? Not a specific role playing Batman, but the entity Batman? There's almost nothing you can say without having to refer to a single representaition. He's not a character, he just is.

I feel comics are unique in that sense, of having been redone so many times that there are no true characters anymore. So these artifacts sort of "existed" themselves. Because of that, the ladybug earrings won't fit into this idea, being so modern.
