Claim:
A kit of hand-held jewelry setting and forming tools comprising: a) one or more pairs of handles, each pair having a first handle with a proximate region for gripping the tool and a distal region adapted to receive a first interchangeable fixed jaw and a second handle with a proximate region for gripping the tool and a distal portion adapted to receive a second interchangeable movable and adjustable jaw, wherein the first and second handles are connected at a first pivot member in a mediate region of each handle; and b) one or more sets of pairs of interchangeable jaws comprising a first interchangeable jaw adapted to be fixedly connected to the first handle and a second interchangeable jaw adapted to be movably connected to a second pivot member in the distal portion of the second handle and adjustable about an adjustment member proximate to the second pivot member, the first jaw having a flat clamping face fitted with an adjustable stop proximal to a circular anvil with an edge to hold a wire on a distal tip of the first jaw, and a rotatable lever attached to the first jaw with a third pivot member where the rotatable lever has a lip over the circular anvil that is adapted to form a wire work piece around the circular anvil and the second jaw having a flat clamping face to hold the wire against the first jaw when the wire work piece is bent by the lever, wherein the adjustment member controls an adjustable clamping angle between the first and second jaws when the jaws are closed to a clamping position on a work piece positioned between the jaws and wherein the adjustable stop forms a bend in the wire when the first and second jaws are closed.
