Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Curving a ring shank or bezel strip over a round jaw alone tends to kink the work; the concave jaw here is the fix. Wire and strip are formed between round and concave faces at once, so the metal takes a clean, continuous arc without the flats and kinks standard round-nose pliers leave behind.

The steel body runs on a simple lap joint that stands up to daily use, and the jaw faces are smoothly finished to keep marking on precious metal to a minimum. Smooth red PVC-coated handles give a secure grip, and the 5.5-inch (140 mm) length balances leverage with control. A staple for anyone who regularly turns straight stock into curves.

  • One round jaw and one opposing concave jaw for forming consistent, clean arcs.
  • Steel construction with a simple lap joint for durability in daily use.
  • Smoothly finished jaw surfaces to minimise marking on precious metals.
  • 5.5-inch length offers good control and leverage for shaping wire and strip.
  • Smooth, red PVC-coated handles provide a comfortable and secure grip.

Who it's for

A workshop staple for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery students who regularly form curved components. Also suitable for hobbyists and craftspeople working with wire for model making or other detailed metalwork.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Violet ★★★★★

The concave jaw makes all the difference—my bezel strip curved cleanly without a single kink, which never happened with my old round pliers. The red PVC grips are comfortable even after two hours of shaping rings.

Nicholas R. ★★★★★

Bought these for forming bezel strip and the round-plus-concave combo genuinely cuts down on the kinking I used to fight with plain round pliers. The red PVC grips are comfortable enough for longer sessions, and at 5.5 inches they fit my hand well.

Elizabeth I. ★★★★★

Finally, no more kinked bezel strips! The
