Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Ring shanks, bails and heavy loops form quickly when the mandrel is built into the pliers. Wrap the wire around the cylindrical jaw, tap it down against the flat jaw opposite, and the curve comes out the same size every pass — sized here for women's ring work. If you are forming to fit, our guide to measuring ring size at home is worth a read first.

The stainless steel body shrugs off corrosion at the bench, blue cushioned grips keep repetitive forming comfortable, and the 6-inch length gives leverage without becoming cumbersome.

  • One cylindrical jaw acts as a forming mandrel opposite a flat tapping jaw.
  • The single round mandrel ensures consistent sizing for loops, rings, and bails.
  • Stainless steel body provides strength and resistance to corrosion.
  • Blue cushioned grips offer comfort and control during repetitive work.
  • Overall 6-inch length gives good leverage without being cumbersome.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers and wire-work artists who need to produce uniform ring shanks, pendant bails, or decorative loops. Also suitable for serious hobbyists and craftspeople looking to achieve a more consistent finish in their jewellery making.

Richard ★★★★★

I've been making wire-wrapped bails for months and always struggled to get a consistent curve until now. Wrapping the wire around that cylindrical jaw and tapping it flat on the opposite side takes seconds, and the loops come out even every time. Six inches feels right in my hand too.

Victoria B. ★★★★★

The built-in mandrel jaw makes forming bails so much faster than wrapping wire around a separate rod. I tapped down a few heavy loops against the flat jaw and the curves came out even every time. Six inches is a nice size for my smaller hands too.

Ella ★★★★★

The cylindrical jaw makes forming bails so much faster than wrapping wire around a dowel and fighting to keep it round. I've made about twenty loops this week and the 6 inch size fits my hand without cramping. The flat jaw taps the curve down cleanly against the mandrel.
