Stone Setting Pliers — Prong Closing, Grooved Jaw, for Jewellery, Wire & Bead Craft

Pliers for the nerviest moment in setting: closing claws over a stone. A machined groove in one jaw seats the prong tip while the flat jaw opposite backs the push, so pressure arrives evenly and the girdle stays clear of chips. They earn their keep in new settings and across bench repairs alike.

Box-joint construction holds the jaws in register for repeatable pressure, the curved handles are dipped in blue vinyl for a sure grip, and a double-leaf spring re-opens them between prongs. Suitable for claw, prong and cathedral settings in gold, silver or platinum, and forgiving enough for apprentices learning the feel.

• One jaw features a machined groove to securely grip the prong tip whilst closing.
• The opposing flat jaw provides a stable surface for pushing the prong into place.
• Box-joint construction maintains jaw alignment for consistent, repeatable pressure.
• Curved, blue vinyl-dipped handles provide a comfortable and secure grip.
• A double-leaf spring gently returns the jaws to the open position, reducing hand fatigue.
