The Talisman was part of the inventory interface in the Blizzcon build (October 2008). It was seen between the two weapon slots in the [[inventory]], and when clicked a bronze, circular disk appeared over the character. There were 9 slots on the talisman, with lines connecting some of them. It had no function in the Blizzcon build, and could not be clicked or activated in any way.
In interviews at the show[http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcon-press-conference-with-jay-wilson/], Jay Wilson disclosed that it was something they were playing around with during development. It's called the "Talisman" and it's an "attribute modifier that used [[gem]]s," according to Jay. There was were gems to be found in the BlizzCon demo, but the talisman was not functional, so no players could attempt to experiment with it.
Jay said they'd rejected the Talisman the way it had been working, and that it was now non-functional, but that they would probably do something else with it.
