For bench jewellers and stone setters needing to close prongs securely, these pliers offer controlled, even pressure. The specialised jaw design allows for the safe closing of claws over gemstones, dramatically reducing the risk of chipping the stone's girdle during the setting process.
Key features
- 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.
Who it's for
An essential hand tool for UK bench jewellers, gem setters, and jewellery repair workshops. Also suitable for apprentices and craftspeople learning to set stones in claw, prong, or cathedral settings in gold, silver, or platinum.

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.
