Here are two specialty pliers that are a game changer for prong settings from @sinead_cleary_jewelry - “Basically the tips are curved and have a groove in each side and that allows the prong to sit in the grooves. I gently squeeze the pliers to close the prong over the stone. They're such a life saver! I dont use anything else! I dont even use my prong pusher. Just the pliers. The openers come in handy too when you accidentally close a prong too far or if you want to take the piece apart.” These pliers are available from contenti.com #need thank you for sharing!! In this world of a thousand tools I love seeing suggestions from you all on ones you consider game changers! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytools #jewelrypliers #jewelrytipoftheday #prongsetting
