If you adapt some round nosed pliers, by filing a small flat on one beak, they will serve as setting pliers without any any great force needed.
You rest the flat on one side, at the level of the girdle, and use the round side to gently persuade the edges to turn over, north/south east/west etc.
This is especially useful for fragile pieces.
Another useful aid, but not essential, is a collet closing tool, which will restore any deviation from roundness. Dennis
