In this piece I have used round nose plier to make my earwires,headpin loops(that connect my crystal ball to the earwire) and also the swirl charm that is hanging from the headpin.

Brands:
Bead smith
Beadstrom
Lindstrom
Zambro
Beadalon
Tronex

Different Round Nose pliers:
1.Jewelers Pliers Round Nose
   Round nose pliers are essential for wire wrapping, looping headpins,wirework,etc.,
2.Pliers 3 Step Roundnose And Hollow
  The top jaw of this tool has 3 sizes to create a wide range of loop sizes. The concave
   lower jaw helps form rings and curves in your wire.
3.Pliers 3 Step Roundnose And Flat
4.Pliers 3 Step Roundnose Looping Pliers
  This three stage round nose plier aids in crafting precise loops in varying sizes!
5.Pliers Round Nose With Cutter
6.Pocket Pliers Round Nose Pliers
7.Pliers Round Nose Double Nylon Jaw

Not all round pliers are same.If you buy a chaep one the tip will be wide and you cannot make fine loop.So go for the better product.I love Beadsmith products as both cost and quality are good.
