The original 2nd Edition entry from the Forge.

Gossip's Gem is a small tear-drop ruby earring with a silver clasp. This rather common looking piece of jewelry is a powerful magic item. The earring was commissioned by a businessman who thought his magician partner was cheating him; many duplicates have since been made.

The Gossip's Gem grants the wearer the ability to detect lies without fail, in addition, it also grants a +20% bonus to detect noise. The earring also protects its wearer from magical assualts that produce sound, i.e. it grants a +5 saving throw vs. magical suggestions and vocal attacks such as a banshee's wail.
