Oval Ring Mandrel, Solid Steel Jewellery Making Shaping Tool, 13 Inch, Tapered from 15 to 22 mm

This solid steel oval mandrel is the bench tool for precisely forming and sizing rings with a non-circular profile.

What it does

It allows you to shape and refine oval-sectioned rings without compromising their intended geometry. The precisely tapered surface guides your forming hammer or pliers, ensuring consistent curves and dimensions. Its substantial steel construction provides a stable platform for metalwork, while the smooth, polished finish prevents marring your workpiece. The knurled handle offers a secure hold, essential for controlled manipulation.

How to use it

• Secure the mandrel in a vice or hold firmly.
• Position your oval ring blank onto the tapered section.
• Tap or gently draw the metal to achieve the desired size and shape.

Who it's for

Essential for bench jewellers and silversmiths crafting bespoke oval or D-section rings. This tool is ideal for intermediate to professional makers who require accuracy over guesswork. It replaces imprecise methods and ensures a professional finish on everything from engagement bands to statement pieces.
