I believe Patience knew the significance of such earrings AND the history of that particular one very well indeed. I've no proof though, this is just based on what I think of her character based on everything that happens in the books. She's a sly old fox who hides her wisdom and wit behind the mask of "oh I'm so shy and socially uncomfortable and really eccentric don't mind me".
