Here is how those were made, there were about eight differing jewelry designs/ pieces with the basic shape...

Pancake Dies

These are cut with a hand operated Jewelers' saw. Like a coping saw and at an angle to the plate so the wide is at the bottom of the whole outline. Do some research of the term and you too can make a simple pancake die. I used 1/16th thick mild steel and it cut about 50 pieces or so out of 1/32" brass. Hard brass not soft!
Bolsters anyone???
