I think it would be easier to give an opinion in person, but I think I would be inclined to patina then highlight the high spots so that it takes back some of the shininess and also shows off the intricacy better.

I like the idea of putting them together but I think they are so beautiful that they are stand alone pendants. They need to shine all by themselves.
