Ring joins solder cleanly when the work cannot move. These tweezers act as a third hand: slide the lock along the shank and the jaws hold constant tension on the ring with no finger pressure, leaving both hands free for solder, pick and torch. Our guide to soldering sterling silver without pitting shows the setup in practice.

A curved inner jaw supports the ring shank while the wide, cross-hatched outer jaw takes the grip, and the raised, textured slide moves positively under the thumb. The satin metal finish keeps bench-lamp glare out of your eyes during setting, filing and polishing work.

  • Sliding lock mechanism provides adjustable, constant tension without hand pressure.
  • Features a curved inner jaw to support the ring shank and a wide, cross-hatched outer jaw for a secure grip.
  • Durable metal construction with a non-reflective, satin finish to reduce glare at the bench.
  • Allows for precise, hands-free positioning during soldering, setting, and polishing operations.
  • The sliding lock features a raised, textured surface for positive thumb control.

Common questions at the bench

How do I hold a ring for soldering?
Close and line up the joint first, so the two ends meet with no gap. Grip the shank away from the joint, with the joint where the flame can reach it, so the jaws do not cool the joint and the ring cannot tip or creep as it gets hot.
Which rings will these hold?
Check this product's description for its jaws and the rings it is made for. As a guide, narrower jaws suit fine shanks and wider jaws give broad bands a steadier hold.
Do they get hot when soldering?
Yes. The metal carries warmth back from the ring, so hold them well back from the jaws and let the tweezers and the ring cool before you handle them.
Can they go in the pickle?
No. Move the ring into and out of the pickle with copper tongs: steel in an acid pickle can leave a thin copper coating on silver.
