Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Some bangle designs are meant to hug the wrist rather than stand off it, and that flatter fit starts with the former. This mandrel carries a consistent low-oval section along its full length, so a contemporary bangle can be trued to the same subtle profile at any point on the tool.

Solid wood is the point: silver, copper and other soft metals can be worked directly against it without picking up marks, even when already polished. The surface is sanded smooth so metal moves and lifts off without snagging, and 14 inches of length leaves room to plan the next run of blows.

  • Features a consistent low-oval profile along its entire length for uniform shaping.
  • Solid wood construction prevents marking or scratching on precious and non-ferrous metals.
  • Measures 14 inches in length, providing ample surface for forming and hammering.
  • Sanded smooth to allow metal to be worked and removed without snagging.

Who it's for

A specialist tool for UK silversmiths, bench jewellers, and jewellery students creating bangles with a modern, flatter profile. It is essential for anyone needing to consistently produce this specific low-oval shape whilst working with silver, copper, or other soft metals.

Julian ★★★★★

I've been shaping copper bangles for a few months and the flatter curve these make is so much nicer than the round ones I was getting before. Solid wood too, so it doesn't slide around while I'm working the wire. The 14 inch length gives me plenty of room to slide pieces up and down.

Andrew K. ★★★★★

The low oval profile is exactly what I needed for stacking bangles that don't clank around on my wrist. Solid wood has a nice weight and the 14 inch length gives me room to work a full set without repositioning. Hammered three copper bangles on it last night and the curve came out even every time.

Samuel U. ★★★★★

Finally got my bangles to sit snug against the wrist instead of sticking out – the consistent low-oval shape along the whole 14 inches made the difference. Even the thinner sections kept their curve perfectly, so shaping was a breeze.
