Looping thicker wire (18gauge) without marring?

Hello all!
I have a problem that's driving me a little crazy, and I feel like there must be some good solution that is just evading me, so I figured I would throw it out there and see if anyone has any advice.

Looping 18 gauge half hard wire (sterling silver and gold filled). I could loop 20 gauge all day without problem, but I have a few styles that I'm working on that require looping 18 gauge wire. I have been using my round-nosed pliers as usual, but they always seem to make little marks on the wire. Is there any way around this, or any tool that would help? I see that nylon-jaw round nose pliers exist, but I'm sure sure if that would do the trick. Searching google isn't helping me much...thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!
