Concave and round pliers, also known as concave-round nose pliers or rosary pliers, are a specialized jewelry-making tool designed for shaping wire. They have two jaws:
One jaw is concave– shaped like a shallow curve or hollow.
One jaw is round – typically tapered like a cone.
Purpose & Use
This combination makes them ideal for:
Forming consistent loops and curves in wire.
Creating jump rings, eye pins, or bails.
Making wrapped loops in wire wrapping and beading.
The concave jaw holds the wire steady and presses it into the round jaw, helping form perfect curves without flattening the wire.
