For closing prongs over a stone with control rather than hope. One jaw is grooved to seat and steer the prong tip; the flat opposing jaw spreads pressure evenly as the claw comes down — firm, gradual movement that secures the stone while keeping the risk of chipping low. Just as useful for re-tensioning tired claws on repair work in gold, silver or platinum.

Box-joint construction stops the jaws twisting under load and keeps them parallel, so force goes exactly where you aim it. The stainless steel head carries a satin finish to cut glare under the bench light, and the curved handles are coated in white PVC for grip and comfort. Overall length is 125 mm.

  • One jaw is grooved to securely grip and shape the prong tip.
  • The opposing flat jaw provides even pressure when closing the claw.
  • Box-joint construction prevents twisting and ensures jaws remain parallel under load.
  • Ergonomic, curved handles with a white PVC coating for comfort and grip.
  • Satin-finished stainless steel head reduces glare at the bench.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, gem setters, and jewellery students learning stone setting techniques. Also suitable for repair work where prongs need to be re-tensioned or adjusted on gold, silver, or platinum jewellery.

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.
