Curving a ring shank or bezel strip over a round jaw alone tends to kink the work; the concave jaw here is the fix. Wire and strip are formed between round and concave faces at once, so the metal takes a clean, continuous arc without the flats and kinks standard round-nose pliers leave behind.

The steel body runs on a simple lap joint that stands up to daily use, and the jaw faces are smoothly finished to keep marking on precious metal to a minimum. Smooth red PVC-coated handles give a secure grip, and the 5.5-inch (140 mm) length balances leverage with control. A staple for anyone who regularly turns straight stock into curves.

  • One round jaw and one opposing concave jaw for forming consistent, clean arcs.
  • Steel construction with a simple lap joint for durability in daily use.
  • Smoothly finished jaw surfaces to minimise marking on precious metals.
  • 5.5-inch length offers good control and leverage for shaping wire and strip.
  • Smooth, red PVC-coated handles provide a comfortable and secure grip.

Who it's for

A workshop staple for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery students who regularly form curved components. Also suitable for hobbyists and craftspeople working with wire for model making or other detailed metalwork.

Common questions at the bench

Will these mark soft silver wire?
Our flat-, snipe-, and round-nose pliers have polished interior jaws — they will not mark cleanly annealed precious-metal wire when used with normal grip pressure. For absolutely no-mark work on finished pieces, wrap the jaws with masking tape or nylon-jaw covers (sold separately).
Can these cut hardened wire?
Tungsten-carbide-tipped cutters in this collection handle hardened steel up to spring temper. Standard side cutters are for non-ferrous (silver, gold, copper, brass) up to half-hard. Check the product spec for the cutting capacity.
What is the difference between parallel and standard pliers?
Standard pliers pivot on a single point — the jaws scissor open and grip strongest at the tip. Parallel-action pliers stay perfectly parallel through the full opening, giving equal grip pressure across the whole jaw face. Parallel models are higher-precision (better for wire-wrapping and dead-soft annealed wire) but cost more.
Do they come spring-loaded?
Most of our bench pliers ship spring-loaded for one-handed operation. Where the spring is removable, the product description notes it. Spring tension is set for all-day comfort, not maximum grip.
