Achieve precise oval bangle and bracelet dimensions consistently with this stepped wooden shaping mandrel.
What it does
This tool provides five distinct, fixed oval diameters essential for repeatable sizing when forming bangles. The smooth, finished hardwood construction prevents any marking or scratching on softer metals like silver and gold, ensuring a clean, professional finish. It's designed for controlled shaping, offering a reliable alternative to tapered mandrels for precise, identical pieces. The solid build quality is evident in its smooth, splinter-free surface.
How to use it
- Secure the tang firmly in a bench vice.
- Shape your metal around the desired step.
- Store in a dry place to maintain its form.
Who it's for
An indispensable tool for UK silversmiths and bench jewellers specialising in producing consistent oval bangles and bracelets. It's also ideal for jewellery students and dedicated hobbyists seeking accuracy, replacing guesswork with a dependable method for repeatable sizing.

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.
