Yes, yes she totally did. She OFFERED a chance to go to a planet that had a sky to fly in. Sure he could have been hired through SMS for that mission, but Sheryl picked and ASKED him if he would like to go....
y'know, for his birthday. Best present ever? I'd say so. Because honestly there was a fantastically rare chance he would ever be able to otherwise. Why else do you think he sent someone in his place to go see Ranka and eat bitter cookies.

While watching the series, I akin the earring to a specific episode from Ruroni Kenshin. Kaoru gave Kenshin her favorite hair tie/scarf to bring back, as a reason for him to come back alive.
So she wasn't just shoving the earring at him, it was a "I care about you enough to give you something precious of mine to motivate you to come back alive"
and you know, Alto go the hint. Why else would he look so determined after taking it in the series and promising to come back with it. I don't know why you devalued it to a bargaining chip when there are romantic ties/reasoning to the gesture.
I'm pretty sure you can see countless more examples of something like that in movies or other anime (usually of the war/fighting/romance kind).
