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

How do I close or lift a setting without damaging the stone?
Work a little at a time and check the stone after each step; when closing a setting, work opposite sides in turn. Use gentle, even pressure, place the jaws as this product's description shows, and do not force the setting in one go.
Will these mark the setting?
Any jaw can mark soft metal or a polished finish if you grip too hard or the jaws are dirty, and serrated or textured jaws mark more easily than smooth ones. Use the lightest grip that holds the piece and keep the jaws clean; on finished or plated work, cover metal jaws with masking tape or use nylon-jawed pliers.
How should I look after them?
Wipe them clean after use, keep them dry and store them so the jaws do not knock against other tools. Keep the moving parts free of grit and filings so the action stays smooth, and do not use them as a hammer or a lever.
