A solid hardwood bangle mandrel for shaping and resizing bracelets with precision. This 8-inch tool provides a reliable form for bench jewellers working with precious metals.
What it does
This stepped mandrel allows you to accurately form or adjust the diameter of bangles. Its smooth, unfinished hardwood surface prevents marring, while the dense wood absorbs mallet impacts, ensuring a clean strike and preventing damage to polished metal. The graduated steps offer distinct sizing options for common bracelet diameters, simplifying the forming process.
How to use it
- Select the appropriate step for your desired bangle size.
- Gently tap or hammer wire or sheet metal around the form.
- Clean with a dry cloth after use to preserve the finish.
Who it's for
Essential for bench jewellers and silversmiths resizing finished bangles or forming new ones from scratch. This tool replaces guesswork and reduces the risk of surface damage when working with wire or sheet metal, pairing well with chasing hammers and mallets.

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.
