Vin's earring is a simple piece, a small, silver-plated bronze stud. Vin wears it from her sister's death until Marsh rips it out just prior to her Ascension. It is also a Hemalurgic spike that enhances Vin's Allomantic bronze.

The Final Empire

Vin does not remember when she got the earring, but Reen told her the story. their mother heard voices and, one day, Ruin spoke to her, prompting her to kill Vin's sister with the earring, then put the earring in Vin's ear. Since Vin's sister was a [[[bronze#Allomantic Use|Seeker]], this turned the earring into a Hemalurgic spike. When Reen returned home, he found Vin in her mother's lap, who was proclaiming Vin a queen, with the body of Vin's sister at her mother's feet. Reen then took Vin, and the two fled, leaving their mother behind.

When Vin begins learning Allomancy, she asks Kelsier if she will have to get rid of her earring, as Allomancers try to limit the amount of metal they carry on their persons. He tells her it is fine to keep it, so long as it stays in her body, as Allomancers cannot affect metal that pierces the skin. When training in the use of Allomantic bronze with Marsh, she tells him the story of how she got the earring.

When Vin confronts the Lord Ruler during the Collapse, he rips the earring out of her ear with a Steelpush. Vin then draws on the mists to fuel her Allomancy, and is able to kill the Lord Ruler. Vin recovers the earring after the fight is over.

The Well of Ascension

After Vin attacked Cett's forces in Luthadel, she hid in Camon's safe house, where TenSoon eventually found her. Elend then came to comfort her, and she told him the story of how she got the earring.

When Vin takes the power of Preservation in The Well of Ascension, her earring pains her. At the time, she does not realize that it is because her earring is a Hemalurgic spike reacting against Preservation's power, but instead assumes it is because the earring is made of metal. She then proceeds to remove all other sources of metal from her body.

The Hero of Ages

In the Words of Founding, Sazed explained that Vin's sister was a [[[bronze#Allomantic Use|Seeker]], that her death had turned the earring into a Hemalurgic spike, and that the earring was why Vin was able to pierce copperclouds. Because Vin wears the earring, Ruin is able to speak with her directly, and does so throughout this book whenever she is wearing it. During a fight in which Marsh, under Ruin's control, is attempting to kill Vin, he recognizes her earring for what it is, and is able to resist the control of Ruin enough to remove it from her ear, thereby saving Vin's life and enabling her to utilize the mists.

Trivia
