Hi Cathryn,

    One of the things that may help is sanding the jaw edges of pliers.
    Generally, the edges are sharp 90 deg corners. that are prone to
    marking the soft sterling. By sanding the edges a little, the sharp
    edge is removed & the marking is reduced considerably. Depending on
    how tightly you grip the item marking can still occur. Only a
    'calibrated' grip grained with experience  will solve this problem. 

Dave
