The pendeloque earrings were originally developed around the 1770's, composed of a round or oval-shaped top suspending a matching larger drop surmounted by a delicate bow. This popular type of earrings were longer and lighter than the girandole motif, which rendered it more complimentary to the fashionably high coiffures and extravagant wigs worn during the latter half of the century.
