For bench jewellers and stone setters needing to close prongs securely, these pliers offer controlled, even pressure. The specialised jaw design allows for the safe closing of claws over gemstones, dramatically reducing the risk of chipping the stone's girdle during the setting process.
Key features
- One jaw features a machined groove to securely grip the prong tip whilst closing.
- The opposing flat jaw provides a stable surface for pushing the prong into place.
- Box-joint construction maintains jaw alignment for consistent, repeatable pressure.
- Curved, blue vinyl-dipped handles provide a comfortable and secure grip.
- A double-leaf spring gently returns the jaws to the open position, reducing hand fatigue.
Who it's for
An essential hand tool for UK bench jewellers, gem setters, and jewellery repair workshops. Also suitable for apprentices and craftspeople learning to set stones in claw, prong, or cathedral settings in gold, silver, or platinum.

How this compares
| Professional Prong Closing Pliers,... | Alternatives | |
|---|---|---|
| Jaw Design | One grooved jaw for secure prong grip, one flat jaw for stable pushing | Basic flat or serrated jaws, not optimised for stone setting |
| Joint Construction | Box-joint construction for precise jaw alignment and consistent pressure | Lap-joint or rivet-joint, prone to misalignment and play over time |
| Ergonomics | Curved, blue vinyl-dipped handles with double-leaf spring for comfort and reduced fatigue | Straight, plain metal handles with single spring or no spring, less comfortable for prolonged use |
