I remember a scene where a younger person had been given the ring (or jewelry) from an older person who died in a scene prior. The younger person was leading a group of people (possibly dwarves, other friendly creatures in the mix), and they took shelter from the rain under an overhang. The person wearing the ring (or jewelry) foresaw it collapsing on them, so they all moved, and it collapsed.
I'm pretty sure it's a children's book, but not 100%.
Answer
The scene you describe is right out of Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain.
The main character, assistant pig keeper Taran at some point acquires a magic amulet with 3 lines on it.
Each line represents some power; wisdom, luck, love? etc. (I can't remember exactly)
I can't remember which of the 5 books this happened in though as I read these as a child.
However, I think that the amulet was in either book 3 Castle Lyr or book 4 Taran Wanderer, but don't quote me.
I am 99% sure this series has that scene you describe.
UPDATE
It was actually book 2 The Black Cauldron where Taran gets the magic item.
Thanks go to John Rennie for the assist. (see below)
