Collet Forming Tools for Jewellery Making

Collet forming tools are tools used to specifically form, stretch change or reduce the shape of metal. The right collet forming tool will ensure whatever shaped stone you are working with, you can create settings that are secure and visually appealing.

 

We stock everything a complete collet forming tool kit will need including setting punch sets and blocks and riveting hole and metal punches, all of which can be used on precious metals. These precision tools are primarily used to create stone settings from wire, sheet or tube.

 

What is a collet?

A collet is a jewellery setting, typically a round band of metal that is designed to securely hold a gemstone in place. Collets generally are designed to encircle the girdle of a gemstone, ensuring the stone sits correctly within the completed design of the finished piece.

 

Gemstones are unique in size and shape which is why the collet must match perfectly to minimise any risk of the stone falling out. For this reason, jewellery makers will often be required to create custom settings and for that, the right collet tools are essential.  With the right tools, it is easy to work on a range of metals, from sterling silver to gold and platinum.
