The Eye of Rom is part of the magical paraphernalia of the Haldane kings. The Eye consists of a large cabochon ruby the size of a man's little finger tip, set in the claws of a red-gold mounting terminating in a slender gold wire that enables the wearer to use it as an earring. It originally belonged to Camber MacRorie, Earl of Culdi, who gave it to Cinhil I King of Gwynedd and endowed it with certain magical powers to enable the so-called Haldane potential in the King and his descendants.
Legends say that it fell from the stars on the night of our Savior's birth, and was brought by the Magi as a gift to the baby, Jesus.
