Very tiny brass relic found in the woods at a colonial site. Earring?

I was checking out one of my old spots in the woods today. This spot has yielded large cents, musket balls and flat buttons over the years. But I've also dug a ton of 1930's shotgun shells in the area as well.

Found a very tiny and delicate relic about 4 inches down. It's brass and measures 3/8" x 5/8". Not sturdy enough to be part of a watch fob, so my only guess is an earring. Not sure, so let the guessing begin!

Possibly part of a necklace clasp?

Thanks! Never thought of that! So those round white stones in the hole were pearls? LOL!
