Hi, Cathryn,

    There were several helpful suggestions on preventing plier marks--
    I'd like to add on more. You can buy parallel-jaw pliers with nylon
    surfaces. If you don't want to rig up padded pliers of your own
    devising, one or even two pairs of these are really great for
    bending things like ring shanks, without marking the metal at all. I
    know Rio has them; others probably do too. 

--Noel
