Precision Tools. Made for Makers.
Welcome to Pepetools, a trusted manufacturer and supplier of professional jewelry-making tools and equipment designed for jewelers, metalsmiths, artists, students, makers, and creative professionals.
For decades, Pepetools has focused on one simple goal: creating high-quality tools that combine precision, durability, and affordability.
From rolling mills and disc cutters to soldering equipment, engraving tools, forming tools, polishing equipment, and permanent jewelry solutions, our products are designed to help makers turn ideas into finished work with greater confidence and control.
Our Story
The story of Pepetools began with Anatoli “Tony” Aizenman and his family.
In 1973, Tony immigrated from Ukraine to the United States with his family and settled near New Orleans, Louisiana. Through hard work and determination, he took on a variety of jobs before entering the wholesale gold chain and jewelry findings business.
Tony eventually began selling gold and silver products directly to jewelry stores across the country, building relationships with customers and suppliers along the way.
In 1984, Tony moved to Oklahoma City with his wife, Irina, and founded Aizenman’s Inc. What began as a small 1,000-square-foot showroom grew into one of the region’s major suppliers of jewelry tools, equipment, findings, and stones.
The experience gained through those years of working directly with jewelers became the foundation for Pepetools.
During the 1990s and early 2000s, Tony saw an opportunity to manufacture high-quality jewelry tools at more accessible prices.
Students and emerging jewelers often wanted professional equipment but could not afford expensive imported tools from established manufacturers.
Pepetools was created to help fill that gap.
The philosophy was straightforward:
Create high-quality tools at a reasonable price while providing exceptional customer service.
This principle continues to influence the company today.
Made in the USA
Pepetools has developed into an American manufacturing company with its international headquarters and manufacturing operations in Oklahoma.
The company operates from a nearly 20,000-square-foot facility and uses modern manufacturing technology, including more than 20 CNC machines and thousands of tools and fixtures used in production.
By keeping manufacturing and engineering capabilities in-house, Pepetools maintains greater control over quality, consistency, and product development.
Precision Engineering
Precision is essential when working with precious metals.
A jeweler may be working with a small piece of gold, silver, copper, or another material where even a minor variation can affect the final result.
Pepetools develops equipment with this level of precision in mind.
Our manufacturing approach focuses on:
-
Precision
-
Durability
-
Consistency
-
Reliability
-
Ease of use
-
Long-term performance
-
Practical value
We select appropriate materials and apply carefully controlled manufacturing processes to create tools intended for demanding workshop environments.

Starter kits can combine essential equipment for forming, soldering, polishing, and other foundational techniques, making it easier for new makers to begin their journey.
Built for Makers
At Pepetools, we believe tools should support creativity rather than limit it.
A good tool gives the maker greater control.
It helps turn an idea into a physical object.
It allows an experienced craftsman to work more efficiently and gives a beginner the opportunity to learn with dependable equipment.
That is why our philosophy has always focused on creating tools that makers can trust.
Quality Without Unnecessary Complexity
Professional jewelry equipment can represent a significant investment.
We understand that students, independent jewelers, small businesses, artists, and hobbyists may have different budgets and requirements.
Our goal is to create products that provide professional-level functionality while remaining accessible to a wider community of makers.
We believe affordability should not mean sacrificing quality.
Instead, good engineering, efficient manufacturing, and thoughtful design should help create better value for customers.
A Community of Creators
Pepetools serves a diverse community of makers.
Our customers include:
Every maker has a different approach.
Some create traditional jewelry.
Others experiment with modern designs, sculpture, mixed materials, or permanent jewelry.
Our goal is to provide tools that support this diversity.
Education and Learning
Tools are only part of the creative process.
Knowledge and technique are equally important.
Pepetools supports makers with instructional resources, product information, educational content, and guides designed to help customers understand their equipment and develop their skills.
We believe that helping people learn the craft ultimately helps strengthen the entire jewelry-making community.
