Precision-crafted in Switzerland by Glardon-Vallorbe, these super-premium beading tools are designed for professional diamond setters who demand quality, consistency, and longevity. Available in 23 sizes ranging from No. 00 to No. 22 (0.25mm–1.35mm), each tool features a perfectly formed calotte that is polished and ready to use straight out of the box — no pre-polishing required.

Glardon-Vallorbe is the only manufacturer of genuine Swiss-made files and brings that same expertise in steel fabrication and heat treatment to this premium line of beading tools. The precision-ground calotte features a sharp interior edge and rounded exterior, delivering clean, accurate bead formation with exceptional repeatability. These tools outperform competitors in hardness and durability, maintaining their shape longer and minimizing downtime for reshaping or replacement.

Known as Perloirs in French, Korneisen in German, and Perleros in Spanish, beading tools are essential for stone setters working to form polished beads that secure stones in place and tighten loose stones with precision.
