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.
Our range of collet forming tools are perfect for any project.
