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

How do I make jump rings with it?
Wind the wire round the mandrel in tight, even turns, each touching the last, keeping the same tension throughout. If the mandrel has a slot or hole at the tip, use it to hold the wire end as you start. Slide the coil off and cut through it along its length, with a jeweller's saw or flush cutters, to free the rings.
What wire can I use?
If this product's description names a wire type or thickness, stay within it. Soft (annealed) wire winds more evenly and with less effort; harder wire springs back, so its rings come out a little larger than the mandrel.
How do I get matching rings?
Wind every coil for a batch on the same mandrel or step, with the same wire and the same tension. Change the mandrel, the step or the wire and the rings change size too.
How should I look after it?
Wipe the mandrels clean after use and keep them dry. If they came with a case, keep them in it, so the forming surfaces do not knock against other tools and pick up nicks that would mark the wire.
