Frequently asked questions

Which kit should I buy if I'm starting a jewellery BTEC?
Check your tutor's required-tools list first. If you're equipping yourself, a plier set, a hammer and a letter stamp set are a sensible start.

Yes. The sets suit hobbyists who want to buy several related tools at once rather than one at a time.

Do you supply jewellery schools and colleges?
Yes. Email info@toolsmithltd.co.uk for bulk and education pricing.

Do you dispatch the same day?
Yes. Orders placed before 2pm UK time, Monday to Friday, are dispatched the same working day; later orders are dispatched the next working day. Most UK orders arrive 2-3 working days after dispatch.
