Looking for a Jewel Pusher

[fleurenf]

Hi all,

Could anyone direct me where I can purchase a Jewel Pusher? Doesn’t matter if 2nd hand, antique or new.

Much appreciated.

Fred,
You can always check Ebay and Uncle Larry’s Watch Shop. There are a few others like Dave’s Watch Parts and Dashto.

Here’s the one that I have used since I started and it has always provided the correct sizes.

If you want to get fancy, then here’s one a little pricier…

I find these pushers are a bit dangerous if they are tilted, not straight, or as most antique ones are, they have damaged tips and can cause grief..

If you purchase a well equipped staking set, which you definitely WILL need, you can use this to safely push out jewels, amongst a 1001 other uses. Some even have jeweling attachments.
For the past two years I’ve been using pegwood or a couple of brass pushers I made that fit onto a staking punch.. the settings usually aren’t in that tight anyway, but keeping your pusher perfectly straight is important.

Awesome. Thanks for the replies. Will hunt around.
