Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Closing a ring or easing a shank round is a marking hazard when both jaws are steel. Here the brass jaw takes the load: softer than silver or gold, its V-groove cradles the wire while the concave steel jaw opposite applies the curve. The result is controlled bending with no bruise to polish out afterwards.

The 12.7 cm steel body keeps the tool nimble for bench work, and the red plastic-dipped handles give a sure grip and make it easy to spot in the rack. Brass being sacrificial, expect the soft jaw to pick up marks over time — that is the tool wearing so your work does not.

  • Concave steel jaw provides a firm, curved surface for shaping rings.
  • Opposing brass jaw with a V-groove securely holds wire without scratching.
  • Brass jaw material is softer than precious metals, preventing marks on finished work.
  • Durable steel body with red plastic-dipped handles for a secure grip.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths working with gold, silver, and other soft metals. Also suitable for dedicated jewellery students and craftspeople who need to produce clean, unmarked rings and wire loops.

John ★★★★★

I've been using these for resizing rings for clients, and the brass jaw really does save the day—it leaves no marks on even delicate silver. The V-groove holds the wire steady while I close the shank, and the 12.7 cm size gives me good control in my hand.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The brass jaw on these pliers made closing a silver ring so much smoother—no more worrying about scratching the metal. The V-groove held the wire perfectly steady while I shaped it. Exactly what I needed for my bench work.

Victoria L. ★★★★★

Finally, a tool that doesn't mar my work—the brass jaw on this pliers handles gold and silver shanks beautifully. The V-groove cradles the wire securely, making ring closing a much safer task. I’m very pleased with how precise and gentle it is.
