A simple bronze stud that Vin's mother gave her as a child, the earring is the one keepsake Vin clings to through her years of street life and refuses to replace, even when she is disguised as the noblewoman Valette Renoux. In The Final Empire it seems only a humble memento, though it quietly lets Vin hear Ruin's whispers, which she mistakes for Reen's voice. The Hero of Ages reveals its true nature: it is a Hemalurgic spike, the means by which Ruin can touch and manipulate her. Vin finally discards it, an act that frees her from Ruin's influence and leads to her becoming the bearer of Preservation's power.
