This 15-inch large wooden bangle mandrel provides a smooth, stable surface for shaping and repairing round bracelets and bangles.

What it does

This substantial hardwood mandrel allows for precise forming of soft metals into consistent circular profiles. Its generous length facilitates a gradual taper, giving you fine control when hammering or shaping to achieve the desired diameter. The dense, turned wood construction ensures a non-marring surface, protecting your precious metals from scratches and dents during the shaping process. This makes it an essential tool for achieving professional-grade curves on bangles and bracelets.

How to use it

  • Select the appropriate diameter section for your bangle.
  • Gently hammer or shape the metal around the form.
  • Store flat to prevent warping.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths engaged in regular bangle production or repair. It's also ideal for jewellery students and serious hobbyists seeking a reliable, non-abrasive shaping solution. This mandrel replaces the need for less controlled methods, offering a dedicated tool for achieving perfect round forms.

Common questions at the bench

UK or US sizing?
Our steel ring mandrels carry both UK alphabetical and US numerical scales unless the product specifically notes UK-only or US-only in the description. Hardwood and aluminium mandrels are unmarked — use a separate ring sizer to measure.
Can I hammer directly against the mandrel?
Steel mandrels yes — that is what they are designed for. Hardwood mandrels are for forming and finishing only; hammering against them dents the wood and marks the workpiece. Aluminium mandrels: light planishing only, no forging.
What is a stepped mandrel for?
Stepped (tiered) mandrels let you work batches of rings or bangles in fixed standard sizes — useful for production work where you are making matched pairs or a series. Tapered mandrels suit one-off resizing where you need every size in between.
How do I store it without rust?
Wipe with a light camellia or 3-in-1 oil after wet work or polishing, then store in a dry drawer or wall rack. A small silica gel pack in the drawer is cheap insurance against humidity in unheated workshops.
