Re-tipping and stone replacement both start the same way: lifting a prong without scratching the stone or skidding off the setting. These pliers are shaped for exactly that — the lower jaw cradles the setting while the upper jaw engages the prong, so the lift is levered and controlled rather than pried and hopeful. A staple of repair work at the bench.

Box-joint construction keeps the 5.3mm jaws parallel under load with no twist, and the satin steel finish avoids glare under the bench light while resisting corrosion. Red PVC handles give grip and quick identification. At 130mm the tool stays close to the work, where prong adjustments belong.

  • Specially shaped lower jaw cradles the setting whilst the upper jaw lifts the prong.
  • Box-joint construction keeps jaws parallel and prevents twisting during use.
  • Bright red PVC-coated handles provide a comfortable, non-slip grip.
  • Satin-finished steel construction resists glare and corrosion at the bench.
  • Compact 130mm length offers excellent control for delicate adjustments.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, gem setters, and jewellery repair specialists. Ideal for re-tipping, re-pronging, or replacing stones in gold, silver, and platinum settings where precise prong manipulation is critical.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Eli ★★★★★

The lower jaw cradles the prong so securely that I finally stopped worrying about the stone chipping mid-lift. The PVC handles are grippy even with sweaty fingers, and the 5.3 mm jaw fits my smaller settings perfectly.

Leo ★★★★★

The 130 mm length gives me way better leverage than my old stubby pliers, and the PVC handles stay comfortable even after a full day of setting. The 5.3 mm jaw grips a prong firmly without slipping, so I stopped worrying about nicking the stone.

Isabella Q. ★★★★★

The lower jaw’s curve really hugs the stone while I lift, so no more skidding and no worrying about scratches. The PVC handles give a solid grip even when my hands get a bit oily from the bench.
