For turning flat wire, strip and sheet stock into bangles and bracelets with an even, kink-free arc. The paired concave and convex jaws cradle the stock as they close, curving it progressively so the radius stays uniform along the length instead of developing flats and pinch points.

Both jaw faces are polished to keep silver and gold free of marring, and a return spring between the handles reopens the tool for quick, repeated passes along a blank. Red plastic-dipped handles hold a secure, comfortable grip through longer forming sessions. Model makers and metal artists forming accurate small-radius curves in thin stock will find it just as useful.

  • One concave and one convex steel jaw work together to form smooth curves.
  • Polished jaw faces prevent marring on soft jewellery metals like silver and gold.
  • A return spring between the handles reopens the jaws for rapid, repeated work.
  • Red plastic-dipped handles provide a comfortable, non-slip grip during use.
  • Ideal for shaping flat wire, strip, and sheet stock into bracelets or bangles.

Who it's for

A core tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and craftspeople working with non-ferrous sheet and wire. Also suitable for model makers and metal artists who need to form accurate, small-radius curves in thin stock.

Common questions at the bench

How do I get an even curve?
Work along the piece in small steps, moving the pliers a little at a time and closing them gently, rather than forcing the whole curve in one place. Check the shape often against your mandrel, template or the piece it has to fit.
Will these give me an exact ring or bangle size?
No. They shape the curve; check the size on a ring or bracelet mandrel, or with a ring sizer, and true up the shape on a mandrel before you join or finish the piece.
What thickness of metal can I bend?
If this product's description gives a size or thickness, stay within it. Annealed (softened) metal bends more evenly and with less force than work-hardened stock, and is less likely to crack or kink.
Will these mark my work?
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.
