Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A triangular bangle reads crisp on the wrist but has to feel kind against it. This 14-inch hardwood mandrel is turned for exactly that compromise: three faces in a domed profile with softened corners, so pieces formed on it keep their geometric line without a hard edge touching skin. The continuous taper covers a full run of bangle sizes as you work down the form.

Because it is light-coloured hardwood rather than steel, it shapes silver and copper without marring — the form yields fractionally before your metal does. The thinking in our guide to choosing a ring mandrel applies just as well here: let the tool set the geometry, and keep your hammer work light and even.

  • Features a continuous taper for forming various bangle sizes.
  • Turned from a solid piece of light-coloured hardwood.
  • Provides a domed-triangle profile with three faces and softened corners.
  • Designed for shaping non-ferrous metals without marring the surface.
  • Measures 14 inches in length, offering an ample working surface.

Who it's for

Lily ★★★★★

Finally, a mandrel that doesn't chew up the inside of my silver. The domed triangle profile holds a bangle firmly while the softened corners keep the metal from getting gouged.

Violet K. ★★★★★

These softened corners make all the difference — I can shape a whole bracelet without worrying about tool marks. The wood has just enough weight to hold steady on my bench. My first bangle turned out perfectly symmetrical.

Violet ★★★★★

The domed triangle profile is exactly what I hoped for—the softened corners glide against my wrist instead of digging in, and the 14-inch length gives plenty of room to shape even a wide cuff. The wood feels dense and smooth, so the metal slides along it without catching.
