Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Before anything is cut, drilled or pierced, it gets marked out — and a spring divider is still the quickest way to scribe a true circle or step off equal divisions along a strip. This 4-inch pattern suits jewellery-scale layout: scribing a circle for a disc, walking a repeated spacing down a length of stock, transferring a measurement from rule to sheet.

The hardened points are ground fine so the scribed line stays crisp, and the bowed spring keeps steady tension on the fine-threaded adjustment screw — the setting holds while you work. Stainless steel throughout, so it can live in the bench drawer without rusting. Adjust with the knurled nut rather than forcing the legs.

  • Fine-threaded screw with a knurled nut allows for precise adjustment.
  • Hardened steel points are ground to a fine tip for clear, sharp scribing.
  • Bowed spring top provides consistent tension to hold settings securely.
  • Solid stainless steel construction for durability in a workshop environment.
  • Compact 4-inch size is ideal for detailed jewellery and model-making tasks.

Who it's for

An essential layout tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and model makers. Also suited for metalworkers and engineers requiring a reliable divider for marking out on sheet or bar stock before machining.

Michael ★★★★★

The spring action is smooth enough that I can set a radius one-handed and it holds without slipping. I've been scribing brass disc blanks for earrings and the points stay sharp after a few weeks of steady use. Stainless steel wipes clean with no rust spots so far.

Mia N. ★★★★★

The 4-inch size is perfect for the small brass blanks I work with, and the points are sharp enough to scribe clean circles without tearing up my layout lines. The tension screw turns smoothly but stays put, which is more than I can say for the cheap one I had before.

Andrew ★★★★★

Finally got one that actually holds its setting while I scribe circles on sheet metal. The stainless steel feels solid and the 4-inch size is perfect for small jewellery pieces, no wobble at all.
