Pointed tweezers are indispensable for picking up tiny pieces of solder from your work bench. Placing the solder on the jewelry is much easier too with these tools. Be careful with the tip. It is very sharp and fine and can be bent easily.

Amazon and Gesswein both sell a variety of styles and colors on their websites.
