Handcrafted brass earrings

A pair of earrings that I made from a brass plate, cut by hand with a saw. It's never too early for Halloween!

Wow, impressive. So you cut the plate with the saw, and then what did you use to cut the shapes?

The whole shape is cut with a jeweler's saw, which has a blade so thin that you can do very detailed work with it

I'm going to assume a coping saw with an extremely thin kerf? But I'd love to know what you used

I'm not very familiar with the english terms for it, but as far as I understand you are completely right. The blades I'm using are looking like a hair more than a blade, and so it's possible to be pretty accurate with them (and also very easy to break them, which is less fun)
