Curving a ring shank with flat-nose pliers leaves a chain of tiny kinks; these do it properly. The half-round jaw sets the inside of the curve while the concave jaw supports the outside, so wire and sheet bend into a clean, continuous arc — the everyday move behind shanks, bezel walls and curved wirework. Before you form, our guide to choosing a ring mandrel covers truing the shape up.

The smooth, non-serrated jaw surfaces keep soft precious metals unmarked, and the stainless steel build with a simple lap joint gives consistent action and corrosion resistance. Dark purple PVC-coated handles hold securely at the 6-inch length.

  • One jaw is half-round whilst the opposing jaw is concave to support both sides of a curve.
  • Smooth, non-serrated jaw surfaces prevent marring of soft precious metals.
  • Constructed with a simple and reliable lap joint for consistent operation.
  • Dark purple PVC-coated handles offer a comfortable and secure grip.
  • Made from stainless steel for durability and resistance to corrosion.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Richard ★★★★★

The concave jaw holds the wire perfectly in place, so I can bend a smooth ring shank without any of those annoying kinks. This is exactly what I needed for my silver stacking rings.

Henry K. ★★★★★

Finally, a pair of pliers that doesn't leave ugly marks on my silver—the concave jaw perfectly cradles the outside of the curve while the half-round nose shapes the inside. I got a smooth, professional-looking ring shank on my first try without any kinks.

Ella P. ★★★★★

I've been making my own silver rings for a few months, and these pliers finally let me shape a shank without leaving those annoying flat spots. The concave jaw cradles the wire so smoothly that even 14-gauge bends perfectly on the first try.
