Brass earrings showing a vampire-like castle on one side, and a swarm of bats on the other

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?

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

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 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)
