Budget jewellery making tools for silversmiths
Diamond files
Diamond files for jewellery making - these tools are impregnated with
diamonds and remove a lot of material rather quickly, while not
clogging up like traditional files.
- Packs of ten mixed files - 150MM long and various shapes.
- Single 140MM half round files
- Single 140MM round files
Gemstone pickers
Gemstone pickers for picking up faceted stones. Anodised aluminium with various colours picked at random.
Jump ring opening tools
A tool designed to help jewellers open and close jump rings neatly without needing to grab two pairs of pliers.
- 18.9MM ring with four slots of different thicknesses
Magnifying loupes
A small form of magnifying glass often used by jewellers.
- 27MM eyepiece with dual lens - 5x and 10x
Pliers - bent jaw
Bent nose pliers are similar to needle nose pliers, but they have a
bent nose. It helps with working in close up, tight spaces - you're able
to work at a slight angle.
- 130MM bent jaw pliers with no grippy jaws; this helps to reduce tool marks.
Pliers - flat jaw
These flat jaw pliers have a flat, non-serrated jaw - all being well, this will help to reduce tool marks on soft metals.
They are not parallel action pliers, they're essentially just regular pliers but with a flat rectangular jaw.
- 130MM flat jaw pliers with no grips on the inside of the pliers.
Pliers - round nose
Round nose pliers have tapered jaws, tapering from thicker near the handles to narrower at the 'working end', as it were.
This allows you to create a variety of different sizes of loops -
great for wire wrappers, perfect for making coils, and even jump rings.
- 125MM long pliers with 22.5MM jaws. Red and black plastic handles.
Side/diagonal cutters
Side cutters are a type of wire cutters which cut by compressing the
wire inward into the centre, indenting and wedging it apart.
- 110MM long with 14MM jaws, red and black handles.
Silver polishing cloths
Small silver polishing cloths for jewellers. These cloths clean up
antiqued, dirty, or patinaed silver, and also contain an anti-tarnish
agent to help keep the silver clean for a longer time.
- Packets of five 8x8CM polishing cloths.
Tweezers
Our range of tweezers for jewellery makers and general craft usage.
- 125MM stainless steel tweezers - not the worst, not the best. They
aren't going to pluck any hairs but the ends meet nicely and they are
okay for picking up objects over 1MM or so.
Vernier calipers
Vernier calipers are an easy to use method of measuring small gaps and objects when a reasonable degree of accuracy is required.
- Mini plastic calipers of 107MM long, suitable for measuring 80MM approx.
