Shape bold, contemporary bangles with this flattened oval wood bracelet mandrel, ideal for forming wider, architectural profiles.

What it does

This substantial wooden mandrel allows you to accurately form and shape bangles with a distinctly wider and flatter profile than standard ovals. By striking your metalwork against its smooth, flattened surface, you achieve a modern, architectural silhouette that sits elegantly on the wrist. The dense, fine-grained wood construction minimises the risk of marring precious metals like silver and gold during hammering and forming operations.

How to use it

  • Secure your bangle wire or strip onto the mandrel.
  • Hammer the metal firmly against the flattened oval surface.
  • Rotate and repeat to achieve your desired bangle shape.

Who it's for

A specialist tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths crafting contemporary statement bangles. It’s also an excellent resource for jewellery design students and apprentices looking to expand their skills in forming modern, wider bracelet designs, replacing the need for multiple, less versatile oval mandrels.

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.
