Shape perfect oval bangles and bracelets with this substantial 15-inch steel mandrel. It provides a smooth, tapered surface for precise forming and sizing of your metalwork.

What it does

This robust cast iron mandrel offers a long, gradually tapering form, ideal for shaping and sizing oval bangles from 38mm up to 76mm. The extended length allows for incremental adjustments, giving you greater control as you hammer and form precious metals. Its precisely machined, smooth surface minimises the risk of scratching or marring your workpiece, ensuring a clean finish on silver, copper, and other non-ferrous metals.

How to use it

  • Securely clamp the base to your workbench.
  • Position your metal blank over the tapered end.
  • Hammer gently, rotating the metal for even shaping.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK silversmiths and jewellery makers specialising in bangles and bracelets. This longer mandrel offers superior control for professionals and serious hobbyists compared to shorter, standard forming stakes, streamlining the process of creating perfectly sized oval pieces.

Natalie ★★★★★

I've been hammering bangles on a cheap wooden mandrel for months and the difference with this cast iron one is night and day. The 38-76mm taper covers every size I need, and the oval shape keeps my cuffs from going lopsided. It's heavier than I expected, which is actually great since it stays put on

Kevin D. ★★★★★

The smooth tapered surface makes forming consistent ovals a breeze, and the 15-inch length gives me plenty of room for larger bracelet designs.

Lucy ★★★★★

The cast iron feels incredibly solid in hand, and the smooth taper makes sizing rings and bangles a breeze without any snagging. I was surprised how easily I could hammer heavy-gauge wire into perfect ovals.
