Jewelers and gem setters use this Stone Holder to avoid getting dirt, fingerprints, or oils on the stones. With this thumb-operated stone holder, you can pick up small stones in one easy move. This allows you to measure stones with a caliper, place the stone on tape to set in a snapset, and gently move the stones on your workbench. This is also a great way to present your loose stones to customers who may be interested in purchasing a custom-made ring or pendant from you. The wire prongs fit back into the tool when not in use, so you can safely stow this tool in your pocket or purse if needed.

JewelryTools.com offers this useful gem tool in several options; this tool is 5" long with 3 prong jaws. You can also find the mini 2-1/2" stone holder and the 4-prong stone holder on JewelryTools.com.
