Shape bold, contemporary bangles with this flattened oval wood bracelet mandrel, ideal for forming wider, architectural profiles.

What it does

This substantial wooden mandrel allows you to accurately form and shape bangles with a distinctly wider and flatter profile than standard ovals. By striking your metalwork against its smooth, flattened surface, you achieve a modern, architectural silhouette that sits elegantly on the wrist. The dense, fine-grained wood construction minimises the risk of marring precious metals like silver and gold during hammering and forming operations.

How to use it

  • Secure your bangle wire or strip onto the mandrel.
  • Hammer the metal firmly against the flattened oval surface.
  • Rotate and repeat to achieve your desired bangle shape.

Who it's for

A specialist tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths crafting contemporary statement bangles. It’s also an excellent resource for jewellery design students and apprentices looking to expand their skills in forming modern, wider bracelet designs, replacing the need for multiple, less versatile oval mandrels.

Sophia E. ★★★★★

The 14-3/4 inch length gives me plenty of room to work on wider bangles without the metal slipping off the end. I’ve been hammering thicker silver strips and the flattened oval shape holds them steady for a clean, even curve. Feels solid and well-made for the price.

Natalie U. ★★★★★

Finally, a mandrel that's actually long enough for real bangle work—the 14-3/4 inch length gives me plenty of room to shape wider pieces without feeling cramped. The flattened oval profile holds its shape perfectly under heavy hammering, which I honestly wasn't expecting from wood.

Steven L. ★★★★★

This oval shape is perfect for the wider, architectural bangles I’ve been wanting to make, and the wood surface grips the metal nicely without slipping. At 14-3/4 inches, it’s substantial enough for heavy hammering, yet still easy to hold and control.
