Forge crisp, geometric ring shanks and bezels with this 13-inch triangular steel forming mandrel.

What it does

This hardened steel mandrel provides a precise, three-sided form for shaping sheet metal and wire into clean, angular profiles. Its smooth taper allows for controlled expansion and shaping, enabling the creation of sharp, defined edges essential for modern geometric designs. The solid steel construction ensures durability and consistent results when struck or worked with a hammer, making it a reliable tool for consistent output on the bench.

How to use it

  • Secure the mandrel in a vice or clamp.
  • Form metal around the taper to desired shape.
  • Gently tap with a hammer for crisp edges.

Who it's for

This tool is indispensable for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths crafting contemporary geometric rings, pendants, or bezels. It’s ideal for intermediate to professional makers looking to precisely form angular components, replacing the need for complex multi-part construction or less precise shaping methods.

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.
