These new Glardon® Beading Tools from Vallorbe are made from the same proprietary chromium steel alloy and hardening techniques Vallorbe uses to make its legendary Swiss files. Combined with a high-gloss and polished calotte, the result is an incredibly durable beading tool that creates beautifully rounded dome-shaped beads.
To show how durable these tools are, Tira used one of these beading tools with the EnSet Hand Engraving and Stone Setting system to create over 400 beads with the same tool in a cold rolled steel plate. The first bead was as clean and bright as the last – and after 400 beads the tool showed no signs of wear!*
These new beading tools not only will save jewelers money, but they open up all sorts of new uses for backgrounds in engraving designs!
