For bench jewellers and stone setters needing controlled leverage to close bezel or rub-over settings. These grooved jaw pliers apply uniform pressure to the bezel wall, preventing the slips and marks common with standard tools. A core tool for any UK jewellery workshop.
Key features
- One jaw is machined with a horizontal groove to securely seat on bezel walls.
- The opposing lower jaw is flat and smooth to support the underside of the setting.
- Box-joint construction ensures the jaws remain aligned without sideways play.
- A double-leaf spring between the handles returns the jaws to the open position.
- Curved handles with cushioned, dark blue vinyl grips provide comfort and control.
Who it's for
An essential hand tool for UK bench jewellers, gem setters, and jewellery students working with bezel, rub-over, and tube settings. Suitable for setting cabochons and faceted stones in gold, silver, and other soft metals.

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.
