Like the talisman and the charm, the amulet is believed to be the source of an impersonal force that is an inherent property of the object rather than the manifestation of a deity working through that object (see fetish and taboo).
Although amulets are most often worn on the body, hanging from the neck or strapped to the arm or leg, they may also serve as protective emblems on walls and doorways (e.g., the Jewish mezuzah).
Sometimes the amulet consists of a spoken, written, or drawn magic formula, such as abracadabra and the magic square, or of a symbolic figure, such as the wheel of the sun god and the Aryan swastika.

 The Jesus Mysteries Orpheus Amulet
Guthrie had discussed the amulet at some length in his book (see page 265 of the second edition from 1952) where he dismisses the idea that there was a tradition of a crucified Orpheus.
It evidently escaped [Guthrie’s] notice that the amulet with the image of the crucifix and the inscription ΟΡΦΕΟΣ ΒΑΚΚΙΚΟΣ in the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin is almost certainly a fake.
While it is impossible to prove beyond doubt that the amulet is a fake, when you couple the anachronistic image with the dodgy Italian provenance, it becomes impossible to treat is as anything other than extremely suspicious.

 "dragon amulet" - BioWare's Official Jade Empire Site
The term amulet, unlike a bracelet, is not in reference to where it is worn.
Although this is not exactly the use in which the Dragon Amulet will be used, it's simply an example that an amulet does not necessarily have to be worn around the neck.
So, taking this all into consideration, I thought seems the amulet plays a significant role in characterization of Jade Empire PCs, the developers would at least want to give an in game visual of this particular object; the magical bracer is so far the only thing I have seen that resembles the Dragon Amulet.
