Precisely lift and gently release gemstone prongs without damage, making stone removal a controlled bench task.

What it does

These narrow-jaw pliers are engineered for the delicate work of lifting individual setting prongs. The specially shaped jaws feature a grooved inner surface to securely grip the prong tip, while the smooth, rounded outer face prevents any marring of the precious metal. Their fine, tapered profile ensures clear access even in complex or tight settings, allowing for precise manipulation without disturbing adjacent claws.

How to use it

  • Position jaws carefully under the prong tip.
  • Gently lever the prong upwards to release the stone.
  • Wipe clean after use to maintain the finish.

Who it's for

An essential tool for bench jewellers, repair specialists, and silversmiths tasked with resetting or replacing stones. It's also ideal for apprentices and hobbyists seeking the correct tool for intricate stone removal, replacing less precise methods and ensuring cleaner repairs.

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.
