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.

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.
