Study of technique and size

Recently I tried to find a way to produce components for assembling cluster jewelry. I wanted the components to be interesting and beautiful on the one hand but on the other hand to be simple to manufacture. Also I checked how size affects the appearance of the components.
The original form of all components was a circle (four sizes). I started with three techniques which I have used in the past: punches & a dapping block, dimpling pliers and a chisel & pliers (this method called Crushed Flower Technique is described in the book "metal jewelry in bloom by Melissa Cable)
In the photo you can see all the possible combinations between the diameter and the method of work.
