Tom Herman

Searching for references to the type of work I have in mind, I found the website of  Tom Herman

Using a mixture of piercing and carving he makes intricate jewellery which seems to echo the use of borders and negative space found in decorative iron work. Although it's not explicit in his website, other articles about him have mentioned the making of tsuba as well as the use of chisels and tiny hammers so i can surmise he is using the same Japanese techniques I am interested in.

This is almost exactly the type of work I picture when I say carving and decorative iron work.
