Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A robust manual ring stretcher designed for controlled resizing of plain metal bands on the jeweller's bench.

What it does

This tool precisely expands rings using a screw-driven mechanism, offering a gentler alternative to hammering. Its hardened steel segmented mandrel, precisely machined for accuracy, gradually increases the ring's diameter without deforming its profile. The ergonomic T-handle provides leverage for controlled, incremental adjustments, ensuring a secure fit for customer repairs and custom work. The polished metal construction signifies its durability for daily workshop use.

How to use it

  • Place the ring onto the segmented mandrel.
  • Turn the T-handle to gradually expand the ring.
  • Wipe clean after use to maintain the finish.

Who it's for

Essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and repair technicians working with plain bands. This tool is ideal for those moving beyond basic resizing or seeking a more controlled method than a hammer. It's a practical addition for apprentices and hobbyists needing a reliable, bench-ready solution.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Natalie ★★★★★

The screw mechanism is so smooth and precise that I can enlarge a ring by half a size with just a few turns. It feels really sturdy on the bench, and the black handle gives a solid grip even when applying pressure. Exactly what I needed for resizing my own silver bands.

Daniel F. ★★★★★

The screw mechanism is so smooth and controlled, I was able to gradually expand my wedding band by a full half-size without any slipping. It handles thicker bands firmly, which was my main concern going in.

Nicholas ★★★★★

I was worried about resizing a thick sterling band, but this tool made it effortless — the screw mechanism is smooth and the handle gives great leverage. It handled going up a full size without marring the metal.
