FAQs

What are burs used for in jewellery making?

Burs are precision tools used for cutting, shaping, engraving and finishing pieces in jewellery making. They help create smooth or textured surfaces, enlarge and refine holes and set gemstones accurately. Burs are essential for detailed and intricate work on various materials, such as metals and gemstones.

How to choose the right jeweller’s burs?

Choosing the right jeweller’s burs involves considering the specific tasks and materials you'll be working with:

  • Material and durability — Select burs made from high-grade stainless steel or carbide for longevity and effectiveness.
  • Shape and size — Match the bur shape to the task (e.g. ball burs for smoothing, cone burs for detailing). The size should correspond to the specific precision required for detailing or the gem’s size.
  • Shank size — Ensure the bur's shank fits your rotary tool or handpiece. When the bur’s shank doesn’t fit, measure the difference and explore our wide array of adapters.

Most importantly, you want to invest in quality. When made with precision out of durable materials, burs and drills can serve a jeweller well for many decades.
