Prong Closing & Stone Setting — Setters Pliers, 125 mm Stainless Steel, Grooved Claw Jaw
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.
