Create unique threads with draw plates

In jewelry creation, draw plates are indispensable tools. With a draw plate, you can create different shapes and types of threads. You can create anything from round, square, and oval shapes to special figures like hearts and stars. One of the advantages of using a draw plate is that it saves you a lot of time and reduces your material consumption.

Draw plates come in a wide range of sizes and capacities to suit various needs. At Aktiv Guld, you'll find draw plates specially designed for pulling thin threads with a diameter as small as 0.25 mm to larger draw plates capable of handling thick threads up to 12 mm.

When working with larger pieces, using a draw bench instead of a drawplate may be preferred. A draw bench provides extra stability and control when working with larger threads and more demanding projects.

Bazel blocks

At Aktiv Guld, you will find specially hardened bezel block that ensure precise and professional results when making bezels for stones. These specially hardened bezel punches are essential tools primarily for goldsmiths and other professionals involved in jewelry making. When working with larger bezels, we recommend examining the bezel punch's slope and using this information to draw your pattern with the help of a compass and protractor. You can start by drawing the pattern on paper and then transfer it to your metal sheet. After cutting out and soldering the pattern, you can adjust and shape your bezel using the bezel punch.

At Aktiv Guld, we stock a wide range of bezel punches, allowing you to achieve the results you desire. Find bezel punches with round holes, oval holes, triangular holes, and heart-shaped holes. Our bezel punches are made from durable materials and designed to provide you with precise results and long-lasting use.

Prevent your tools from rusting

After using your hand tools, such as ring mandrels and bezel blocks, it's important to maintain them properly. Make sure to thoroughly clean the tools to remove metal shavings and dust that can adhere to the surface. Additionally, it is recommended to apply a little oil regularly to prevent rust and discoloration. A weekly routine of oil application will extend the lifespan of your tools.
