For UK jewellers and silversmiths forming or finishing rings, this 9-inch wooden mandrel is a core bench tool. Its smooth, tapered surface allows for shaping and enlarging precious metals without scratching, whilst the extended length easily accommodates wide bands and larger men's ring sizes.

Key features

  • Extended 9-inch length provides ample working surface for wide-band and large-sized rings.
  • Solid wood construction prevents scratching or marking the surface of gold, silver, and other soft metals.
  • A continuous, smooth taper is ideal for forming, rounding, and enlarging ring shanks.
  • Features a smooth, finished surface to ensure rings glide on and off without catching.
  • Unmarked surface is designed purely for shaping and forming, not for measuring ring size.

Who it's for

A workshop essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery students. Its simple, robust design is suited for both repair work and creating new pieces from scratch, particularly where a non-marring surface is required.

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.
