The recommended jewelry making hand tools are the following:

• Nylon Jaw Pliers (for straightening wire and flattening wire components)
• Ruler (for measuring wire)
• Step Jaw Pliers (for making loops with standard sizes)
• Chasing Hammer (for hardening wire components)
• Anvil or Bench Block (for hardening wire components)
• Cup Bur (for rounding the end/removing the burrs on cut wire)
• Loop Closing or Bent Closing Pliers (for closing loops)

Finally, as you can imagine, me recommend a WigJig jewelry making jig. For making jewelry your best and most versatile jig is WigJig Centaur. I'm also recommend a selection of Super Pegs for the jig you choose and perhaps the Spiral Maker for the jig you choose. If you choose the WigJig Centaur, the Super Pegs and Spiral Maker for the Delphi would be the appropriate set.
