Category: Jewellery Making Tools

These 17.8cm jewellers shears deliver precise, clean cuts for shaping non-ferrous sheet metal and wire at the bench.

What it does

Designed for control, these snips make straight, continuous cuts right to the tip thanks to their sharp, stainless steel blades. The single continuous loop handle, finished with a bright blue PVC coating, provides a secure and comfortable grip for repetitive trimming and sizing tasks. They offer the leverage needed to cleanly cut soft metals like sterling silver, gold, and copper up to 0.8mm thick, as well as craft wire and thin leather.

How to use it

  • Position material firmly between the blades.
  • Squeeze handle for a smooth, continuous cut.
  • Wipe clean and store dry after use.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metal artists. Whether you're trimming blanks, sizing stock, or working on intricate designs, these shears offer precise control. They are ideal for hobbyists and intermediate makers seeking a reliable alternative to less precise cutting methods for soft metals and thin craft materials.

Victoria B. ★★★★★

Finally, a pair of snips that actually cuts 1mm copper sheet without jamming or leaving jagged edges—the PVC handles give great grip even with sweaty fingers. I’ve been using them for about a week on earring backs and wire loops, and they haven’t dulled at all.

Kevin Y. ★★★★★

Swapping out my old hobby scissors for these was a good call—the PVC handle really does make a difference for grip during long cuts. They sliced through 0.5mm brass sheet like butter, and the straight blade gives you a super clean edge.

Hazel B. ★★★★★

The PVC handles give me way better grip than my old metal-handled snips, and the 17.8cm blade is perfect for scoring fine silver sheet. I can actually feel the control on every straight cut now, makes my bench work a lot less frustrating.
