Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Pliers for the nerviest moment in setting: closing claws over a stone. A machined groove in one jaw seats the prong tip while the flat jaw opposite backs the push, so pressure arrives evenly and the girdle stays clear of chips. They earn their keep in new settings and across bench repairs alike.

Box-joint construction holds the jaws in register for repeatable pressure, the curved handles are dipped in blue vinyl for a sure grip, and a double-leaf spring re-opens them between prongs. Suitable for claw, prong and cathedral settings in gold, silver or platinum, and forgiving enough for apprentices learning the feel.

  • One jaw features a machined groove to securely grip the prong tip whilst closing.
  • The opposing flat jaw provides a stable surface for pushing the prong into place.
  • Box-joint construction maintains jaw alignment for consistent, repeatable pressure.
  • Curved, blue vinyl-dipped handles provide a comfortable and secure grip.
  • A double-leaf spring gently returns the jaws to the open position, reducing hand fatigue.

Who it's for

An essential hand tool for UK bench jewellers, gem setters, and jewellery repair workshops. Also suitable for apprentices and craftspeople learning to set stones in claw, prong, or cathedral settings in gold, silver, or platinum.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Olivia C. ★★★★★

The grooved jaw holds the prong tip perfectly so it doesn't slip sideways when I squeeze. I set six cabochons last night and every claw folded down evenly without a single mark on the stones.

Sofia U. ★★★★★

I was nervous about crushing my stone, but these pliers delivered perfectly even pressure every time. The machined groove holds the prong securely without slipping.

Emma G. ★★★★★

The grooved jaw really holds the prong tip in place—no more slipping when I’m pressing down. Pressure feels balanced, so I don’t worry about cracking a stone. Finally, a tool that makes claw setting less nerve-wracking.
