A triangular bangle reads crisp on the wrist but has to feel kind against it. This 14-inch hardwood mandrel is turned for exactly that compromise: three faces in a domed profile with softened corners, so pieces formed on it keep their geometric line without a hard edge touching skin. The continuous taper covers a full run of bangle sizes as you work down the form.

Because it is light-coloured hardwood rather than steel, it shapes silver and copper without marring — the form yields fractionally before your metal does. The thinking in our guide to choosing a ring mandrel applies just as well here: let the tool set the geometry, and keep your hammer work light and even.

  • Features a continuous taper for forming various bangle sizes.
  • Turned from a solid piece of light-coloured hardwood.
  • Provides a domed-triangle profile with three faces and softened corners.
  • Designed for shaping non-ferrous metals without marring the surface.
  • Measures 14 inches in length, offering an ample working surface.

Who it's for

This is a specialist tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery makers who produce bangles and bracelets. It is particularly useful for those creating contemporary designs that require a geometric profile with comfortable, rounded edges against the wrist.

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.
