You've got an accidental space in there that is making it bring us to an error page on-click. Just thought I'd point it out.Silver Haunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167373003163023354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626415324466805383.post-54752244707840603522010-03-02T11:24:52.213-05:002010-03-02T11:24:52.213-05:00I second the recommendation for Wubbers.

My hands are thanking me, too. :-)<br />-RebecaBlue Buddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705547595869505077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626415324466805383.post-13913454380255065592010-03-01T10:13:29.892-05:002010-03-01T10:13:29.892-05:00You should invest in some pliers that are specific...You should invest in some pliers that are specifically made for jewelry. They won't have the teeth so you won't have those marks any longer. Until then, you might file the teeth down on your current pliers. I've never done that, so I'm not sure of the best tool for that purpose. However, I have used an emery board to file the edges of my pliers. <br /><br />I currently use Wubbers pliers and really like them. They are comfortable and specially made to prevent tool marks. <br /><br />For the slippage problem, you might try flat nose pliers as opposed to the chain nose. You can grip more of the ring in the flat nose. Also, the way you grip your rings makes a difference. Try holding the rings with the side of the pliers rather than the tip. More of the ring surface comes into contact with the pliers and holds onto the ring better without having to use the dreaded "death grip."Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945044528407213951noreply@blogger.com
