Funny you ask this question as i was just thinking about it the day regarding a ring. well the answer to this question is either, im sorry the earring is gone or you have a chance of getting it back.

Firstly, was the water running when it dropped into the sink and for how long? if long then give up now and go buy new earrings. if not too long or you didn't run the water at all you may be in luck somehow.

This now depends on the set-up under your sink. if no water or a small amount of water went into the sink along with your earring then chances are the earring is sitting inside the sink trap. you need to take this trap off and retrieve your earring. if you have a black rubber type trap you can unscrew the two clamps holding it on and take the earring out or if you have a bottle trap then the cylinder can unscrew and then take the earring out.

If nothing is found then the earring is gone, into the sewer and gone forever

What causes the shower to go cold when the sink in the same bathroom is being used?

A poor plumbing job. The pipes to the shower & sink share a pipe to the water heater and the pipe is not large enough. This causes the water pressure in the pipe to drop when the hot water is turned on at the sink while the shower is also on.
