Bangle & Bracelet Forming Mandrel — Round Steel, Cast Iron, 38-76mm Taper, 15 Inch

A forming mandrel for bangles and bracelets, tapering from 38mm to 76mm along its 15-inch length — the full adult size range on one stake. True up a soldered bangle, planish out hammer marks or bring a cuff to a consistent oval against a surface that does not move. The same thinking applies to rings: see our guide to choosing a ring mandrel.

Cast iron supplies the mass to sit still under hammer work, while the hollow core keeps the overall weight manageable when you move it. The working surface is smooth and polished, so silver, copper and other soft metals come away unmarked. A sensible early buy for a student workshop, too.

• Tapered from 38mm to 76mm to accommodate the full range of adult bangle sizes.
• Heavy cast iron construction provides the necessary mass to stay put on the bench.
• Features a smooth, polished surface to help prevent marring of silver, copper, and other soft metals.
• The 15-inch length gives ample space for forming, shaping, and planishing work.
• Hollow-core design maintains rigidity whilst managing the overall weight for easier handling.

Who it's for

An essential forming tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths who regularly produce bangles and bracelets. Also ideal for jewellery students and craftspeople setting up a workshop with core forming stakes.
