Notice anything? Both of the rainbow shimmers appeared when each of their respective ponies displayed their element of harmony. Rarity with generosity and Rainbow Dash with loyalty. Could these be two of the keys to unlock the chest? Only time will tell.

You speak as if it wasn't framed to be as obvious as possible.

Anyway, it seems we get one of these rainbow trinkets in an episode that has numerous similarities.
Not just featuring a character displaying their element, but
1) The character discards their element
2) A secondary character who has walked down the path the character has a revelation concerning what's truly right (Coco working for Suri despite knowing her, er...assholishness, Spitfire choosing winning over her friend and teammate)
3) The mane character helps guide the secondary character down the right path, and the secondary character gives them an item of importance

While we only have 2 trinkets, both episode shared these themes, and the widely anticipated Weird Al episode (Which people are assuming will net Pinkie her trinket) seems to feature a similar structure based solely on it's premise (Somepony outpartying Pinkie, which many assume will feature Pinkie breaking her element to beat Cheese Sandwich and etc etc), so only time will tell.

Basically: How could anyone NOT notice the rainbow flash? The episode focused a good 5 seconds on it. It's hard to not see
