Some bangle designs are meant to hug the wrist rather than stand off it, and that flatter fit starts with the former. This mandrel carries a consistent low-oval section along its full length, so a contemporary bangle can be trued to the same subtle profile at any point on the tool.

Solid wood is the point: silver, copper and other soft metals can be worked directly against it without picking up marks, even when already polished. The surface is sanded smooth so metal moves and lifts off without snagging, and 14 inches of length leaves room to plan the next run of blows.

  • Features a consistent low-oval profile along its entire length for uniform shaping.
  • Solid wood construction prevents marking or scratching on precious and non-ferrous metals.
  • Measures 14 inches in length, providing ample surface for forming and hammering.
  • Sanded smooth to allow metal to be worked and removed without snagging.

Who it's for

A specialist tool for UK silversmiths, bench jewellers, and jewellery students creating bangles with a modern, flatter profile. It is essential for anyone needing to consistently produce this specific low-oval shape whilst working with silver, copper, or other soft metals.

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.
