You mean competence bonuses. Confidence bonuses are not a thing.
That said, some items give other kinds of bonuses (the Stone of good Luck gives a +1 Luck bonus on just about everything), and spells can enhance several specific skills as well (Glibness to enhance Bluff leaps immediately to mind).
What class are you and what specific skills do you want enhanced?
Silver tongued alternate human racial ability adds +2 and lets you move people 3 steps.

The stone of good luck is a good one, but too expensive. I'm looking to go cheap, I only have so much gold to use. Maybe, somewhere around half the cost of 20,000 GP, which I believe is the stone of good look, or less. The ability to increase the skills for all those skills does not have to be limited to all skills, it could be just aimed at one skill.

The character class in question is the Paladin, the ability scores are not bluff, or intimidate but the rest of them. The Paladin character is in PFS. Yes Deadmanwalking, I stand corrected, thank you. The character is a Half-Elf and is ninth level.
Well, there's always Skill Focus. The Honeyed Tongue Paladin spell would also help somewhat with Diplomacy. As would many other things (the Cloak of the Diplomat leaps to mind)...but most of them are skill specific. Do you just want Diplomacy? Or do you also need Use Magic Device, Perform, and Handle Animal?
EDIT: Hmmm. Relatively cheap items to raise Diplomacy...that should be a reasonable idea, but I'm not coming up with many. The Circlet of Persuasion is pretty much wonderful, but that's a Competence bonus....

Honeyed Tongue is a Paladin spell.
I understand it is for such a character. I'm just trying to find out how to crack out diplomacy and use magic device beyond a circlet of charisma boost +2, circlet of persuasion to Charisma skills +3 and the magenta Ioun Stone +2. The later two being a competence bonus. My cloak slot is taken up by a cloak of resistance so, I'm not thinking of using cloaks. I kind of drawn a blank otherwise.
Blackblood is correct, masterwork tools give circumstance bonuses - not competence bonuses.
Honestly, the best option for solving this is to do the legwork yourself. Do a forum search or google some of the diplomancer builds. Check how they rack up the Diplomacy bonuses, then see what items/traits/skills/feats/spells/other you can replicate.
Stat + In-class(3) + Circumstance(ex. masterwork tool or circumstances) + Morale(ex. heroism) + Competence(ex. most magic bonuses and bard) +Insight(ex. bestow insight) + luck(ex. luckstone) + racial(ex. Silvertongue human) + Trait + misc. Honeyed tongue spell for an easy reroll, bestow insight gives a reroll, Dual cursed oracles give a reroll. I think the highest stat bonus is going to be an infiltrator inquisitor with conversion inquisition, and if your not allowed to stack those two bonuses then it'll likely be a charisma caster, preferably getting untyped bonuses from somewhere in class like bloodline or revelation.
I think that's the most of it.

Gentlemen, I appreciate your patience on the matter, I did not realize the error of seeing competence and circumstance bonus differences for masterwork tools and whatnot. I never thought of masterwork tools being useful until now.
I suppose if my masterwork tool were eyeglasses or lenses, that would give me the bonus for casting on scrolls with use magic device. Between an animated shield and a wand of Shield I have elected to use a wand of Shield. That was the first reason for using use magic device.
I had a Magus and had a lot of fun W/monstrous physique II. That character is retired from PFS and now I have a 9th level Paladin. Both characters have the trip feats. The idea is to repeat the process with monstrous physique II and command the battlefield using a SHOBHAD along with a reach weapon and a melee weapon.
