A robust manual ring stretcher designed for controlled resizing of plain metal bands on the jeweller's bench.

What it does

This tool precisely expands rings using a screw-driven mechanism, offering a gentler alternative to hammering. Its hardened steel segmented mandrel, precisely machined for accuracy, gradually increases the ring's diameter without deforming its profile. The mandrel is marked in whole and half US sizes from 2 to 14; UK sizes are letters, so convert a UK size before stretching. The ergonomic T-handle provides leverage for controlled, incremental adjustments, ensuring a secure fit for customer repairs and custom work. The polished metal construction signifies its durability for daily workshop use.

How to use it

  • Place the ring onto the segmented mandrel.
  • Turn the T-handle to gradually expand the ring.
  • Wipe clean after use to maintain the finish.

Who it's for

Essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and repair technicians working with plain bands. This tool is ideal for those moving beyond basic resizing or seeking a more controlled method than a hammer. It's a practical addition for apprentices and hobbyists needing a reliable, bench-ready solution.

Common questions at the bench

What rings can I stretch with it?
Plain bands, as this product's description says. Do not stretch a ring set with stones, a hollow ring or a ring with engraving or a pattern you want to keep: stretching can loosen stones, split the metal or distort the pattern.
How much can I stretch a ring?
Only a little: stretching makes the band thinner and narrower. Stretch in small steps, check the size after each one and stop as soon as it fits. For a bigger change, cut the band and add metal instead.
How do I check the size?
Measure the ring on a ring sizer or a marked ring mandrel before you start and after each step. If this product's description says its mandrel is marked with sizes, those follow the standard it names; UK ring sizes are letters, so convert with a ring size chart.
How should I look after it?
Wipe it clean after use, keep it free of grit and metal filings, which can mark the inside of a ring, and store it dry.
