This 3-inch ceramic crucible and stainless steel whip tong set offers controlled melting and pouring for UK bench jewellers working with precious metals.

What it does

The precisely formed four-point grip of the whip tongs securely cradles the ceramic dish, allowing for stable, single-handed tilting and pouring of molten gold, silver, or copper. The shallow crucible design promotes even heat distribution for efficient melting. Constructed from robust stainless steel, the tongs maintain consistent spring tension for reliable performance during repeated use at the bench.

How to use it

  • Place crucible securely in tongs' four-point cradle.
  • Gently tilt to pour molten metal into your mould.
  • Clean tongs after cooling; store crucible dry.

Who it's for

An essential setup for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and dedicated hobbyists refining or casting small batches of precious metals. This set simplifies the pouring stage, replacing less stable improvised methods and ensuring a cleaner transfer of metal from your furnace to your mould.

Emma H. ★★★★★

The four-point grip on the whip tongs makes handling the little crucible feel secure even when it's hot. Melts my silver scraps much faster than my old setup, and the pour is clean every time.

Nicholas ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised how well the ceramic crucible held up to repeated melting of silver scrap. The stainless steel whip tongs give me a steady grip when pouring into ingot molds. This set makes reclaiming my bench filings much less fiddly.

Lucy ★★★★★

The four-point grip on the whip tongs locks onto the crucible so securely that I can pour a steady stream of molten silver without any wobble. The 3-inch size is perfect for small batches, and the ceramic holds up well to repeated heating cycles.
