Shape flat metal stock into precise curves for rings and bracelets with these dedicated forming pliers.

What it does

These pliers gently bend flat wire and strip into consistent arcs without damaging the metal's surface. The aluminium jaw cradles the workpiece, preventing scratches, while the opposing steel post provides a stable forming point. This controlled bending action maintains the strip's orientation, crucial for seamless joinery and a professional finish. The robust steel construction ensures durability for repeated use at the bench.

How to use it

  • Position flat stock between the aluminium jaw and steel post.
  • Gently squeeze handles to bend the metal around the post.
  • Store clean and dry to prevent corrosion.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and dedicated hobbyists working with sheet and wire. It streamlines the process of creating perfectly rounded rings and bangles, replacing less precise methods and ensuring consistent results for both professional and intermediate craftspeople.

Common questions at the bench

How do I get an even curve?
Work along the piece in small steps, moving the pliers a little at a time and closing them gently, rather than forcing the whole curve in one place. Check the shape often against your mandrel, template or the piece it has to fit.
Will these give me an exact ring or bangle size?
No. They shape the curve; check the size on a ring or bracelet mandrel, or with a ring sizer, and true up the shape on a mandrel before you join or finish the piece.
What thickness of metal can I bend?
If this product's description gives a size or thickness, stay within it. Annealed (softened) metal bends more evenly and with less force than work-hardened stock, and is less likely to crack or kink.
Will these mark my work?
Any jaw can mark soft metal or a polished finish if you grip too hard or the jaws are dirty, and serrated or textured jaws mark more easily than smooth ones. Use the lightest grip that holds the piece and keep the jaws clean; on finished or plated work, cover metal jaws with masking tape or use nylon-jawed pliers.
