A dedicated form for hammering bangles to a teardrop cross-section — the asymmetric profile a round or oval mandrel cannot hold. Work the metal over it and the shape stays consistent along the full length, so each pass of the hammer reinforces the section rather than fighting it. Suited to silver, copper and other non-ferrous metals for contemporary bangle work.

Made in solid wood, it will not mark or bruise a precious-metal surface the way a steel form can, and its mass sits stable and reliable under hammer blows. The gentle taper lets you form a range of bangle diameters on the one tool, and at 14 inches there is ample length for adult sizes.

  • Maintains a consistent teardrop cross-section along its full working length.
  • Smooth wooden construction prevents marking or damaging precious metal surfaces.
  • Measures 14 inches, providing ample length for forming adult-sized bangles.
  • Gently tapered design accommodates the creation of various bangle diameters.
  • Solid form provides a stable and reliable surface for hammer-forming work.

Who it's for

A specialist forming tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery students creating contemporary metalwork. Also suitable for craftspeople working with copper and other non-ferrous metals who require a dedicated mandrel for teardrop-shaped bracelets.

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.
