== The Final Empire ==
Vin does not remember when she got the earring, but [[Reen]] told her the story. [[Vin's mother|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.{{book ref|mb1|20}}{{book ref|mb2|44}}
In [[Mistborn: The Final Empire]], [[Vin]] is described as having an earring given to her by mother. As she is learning about 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. It is later revealed in this book that [[Vin's mother]] gave Vin the earring after having killed her sister rather "messily." ▼
In the finale of the first book, the [[Lord Ruler]] Allomantically rips Vin's earring out of her ear. Vin then draws on the power of mists and is able to kill the Lord Ruler. She recovers the earring after the fight is over.▼

== The Well of Ascension ==
After Vin attacked [[Ashweather Cett|Cett's]] forces in [[Luthadel]], she hid in [[Camon's safe house]], where [[TenSoon]] eventually found her. [[Elend Venture|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 actually 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. ▼
