For jewellers and silversmiths forming ring shanks and curved components, these half-round concave pliers are a workshop staple. The opposing jaw profiles create clean, consistent arcs in wire and sheet metal, preventing the kinking that can occur with standard flat-nosed pliers.
Key features
- One jaw is half-round whilst the opposing jaw is concave to support both sides of a curve.
- Smooth, non-serrated jaw surfaces prevent marring of soft precious metals.
- Constructed with a simple and reliable lap joint for consistent operation.
- Dark purple PVC-coated handles offer a comfortable and secure grip.
- Made from stainless steel for durability and resistance to corrosion.
Who it's for
An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and apprentices who regularly form ring shanks, bezels, and wirework. Also suitable for model makers and craftspeople working with fine, malleable wire who require precise curve forming.
Specifications
- Material: Stainless Steel
- Overall Length: 6 inches (approx. 150mm)
- Jaw Profile: One half-round (convex), one concave

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.
