"Inside, Ring Clamp" => 5 photos

 This particular "Inside, Ring Clamp" has been in my possession for at least 24+ years. There are interesting improvements but suffice it to say, it is my very close friend'. As you can see it has been used extensively.

I use this clamp as it fits into my hand, but not against it.

 This clamp will never change position while it's being used, this is so very important in Diamond Setting. When it is screwed on tight, it is on so very tight!

I would personally use this clamp over any wooden clamp or large screw metal clamp. The large side screw interferes with the setter's (my) hand & fingers. Poor design!!!

 YES, there are many improvements with the GRS type of jewellery tools. But this 'inside clamp' needs no modification. My motto is "If it ain't broken, don't fix it".

There are 10 ring-sized inserts, all it takes is to unscrew any insert to accept the ring of your choice.

 

  As I wrote, there are 10 inserts to hold the ring of your choice. The chosen clamp must GENTLY rest in your hand, if not, your labours will surely suffer for it.

 This 'screw locking system' is what makes this clamp so important. Other clamps are made of very metal and just don't have the hand flexibility when doing intricate Diamond Settings.

 I won't say which system is best for you, but this clamp continues to be what I enjoy using.
