For bench jewellers who form and resize rings without marking the metal. This 12-inch wooden triblet offers a smooth, tapered surface for shaping precious metals, with the extra length needed for larger ring sizes or wide-band rings.
Key features
Full 12-inch (approx. 305mm) length accommodates the entire adult ring size range.
Turned from smooth wood to prevent marking or scratching precious metals during forming.
Continuous, unmarked taper is ideal for shaping and enlarging rings by eye.
Features a distinct, turned handle section for a secure grip whilst hammering.
A robust, simple tool for repeated use in a busy workshop environment.
Who it's for
A workshop essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery repair specialists. It is also an excellent, hard-wearing forming tool for students and apprentices in jewellery-making and silversmithing courses.
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.
