For bench jewellers closing rings or forming curved wire, these bow closing pliers prevent surface damage. One soft brass jaw cradles the workpiece, protecting polished precious metals from marks, whilst the opposing steel jaw provides controlled pressure for shaping. All stock is held in the UK.
Key features
- Concave steel jaw provides a firm, curved surface for shaping rings.
- Opposing brass jaw with a V-groove securely holds wire without scratching.
- Brass jaw material is softer than precious metals, preventing marks on finished work.
- Durable steel body with red plastic-dipped handles for a secure grip.
Who it's for
An essential tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths working with gold, silver, and other soft metals. Also suitable for dedicated jewellery students and craftspeople who need to produce clean, unmarked rings and wire loops.

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.
