18th century paste cluster earrings

Silver earrings, circa 1780, set with bright colourless black dot paste in foiled and closed back settings. Black dot paste was created with a small black dot painted on the underside of the paste to give the illusion of depth. The earrings have their original reverse fittings and attendant wig fittings. There are two creases in the silver to reverse. They measure 1 and 1/8 inches by 1 and 1/8 inches.
