Stone Setting Claw & Prong Lifting Tool

Description

Efficient Tool for Opening and Adjusting Stone Settings Without Damage

This stone setting opener is a practical, time-saving tool designed for opening and closing prong-style mounts when setting or removing gemstones. Crafted from durable metal with a chunky red rubberised plastic grip, it allows for a firm and comfortable hold during precise adjustments.

Measuring 11cm in length and weighing 30g, it is compact yet solid in the hand—perfect for jewellers who need a reliable tool to lift prongs individually without risking damage to delicate stones.

Open Claws Safely and Easily

Each end of the tool features angled, cut-out grooves in diagonal rectangular shapes—specifically designed to fit around various prong sizes. The 7 different notches provide versatility for use on a wide range of settings, from small solitaire mounts to larger collets or cluster settings.

To use, simply:

1. Place the appropriate groove over the claw you wish to open.

2. Gently pull towards yourself to lift the prong away from the stone.

3. Repeat for each claw until the gemstone is safely removable.

This method ensures you do not stress or slip on the stone, helping to maintain the integrity of both the gemstone and the mount.

Ideal for Stone Setting, Resetting, and Repairs

Whether you’re preparing a mount for a new stone, replacing a gemstone, or re-tightening claws during repair work, this tool gives you the control and efficiency needed at the bench.

The textured red handle ensures a non-slip grip, even when working with small settings or under magnification.
