Form perfect small oval loops and components with this six-piece set of interchangeable mandrels, ranging from 2x3mm to 8x12mm.

What it does

This set provides a precise way to create consistent oval wire forms for jewellery. Each hardened steel mandrel locks firmly into the ergonomic handle via a set screw, ensuring stability as you wrap wire. The graduated sizes allow for a range of component dimensions, from delicate bails to more substantial ear wires, streamlining repetitive forming tasks.

How to use it

  • Select and securely attach your chosen mandrel to the handle.
  • Wrap wire around the mandrel to form consistent oval shapes.
  • Store securely in the provided case to maintain order.

Who it's for

Essential for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths creating pendants, earrings, or other wire-worked components. Ideal for apprentices and experienced makers alike, this set replaces guesswork with repeatable accuracy, pairing perfectly with pliers for wire manipulation.

What's in the box

Six oval mandrels (2x3mm to 8x12mm), one handle, and one storage case.

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.
