The workhorse former for oval bangles: a tapered profile means one tool spans the standard adult sizes, so forming, truing and repair all happen against the correct curve. Slide the bangle to the point on the taper that matches its size and work it round from there.

Solid wood is what earns it the bench space — silver, copper and brass can be hammered against it without the work picking up marks, even when polished. The smooth-sanded surface lets metal move freely as it is shaped, and 14 inches of length gives room to work along the taper as the bangle comes true.

  • Tapered oval profile designed for forming standard adult-sized bangles.
  • Solid wood construction prevents marring or scratching of polished metal surfaces.
  • Smooth-sanded surface allows precious and non-ferrous metals to be worked without damage.
  • Measures 14 inches in total length, providing ample working space along the taper.
  • Ideal for shaping bangles from silver, copper, brass, and other soft metals.

Who it's for

Ella O. ★★★★★

Finally, a mandrel that actually lets me size bangles by feel—the taper is gradual enough that I can slide the piece to the exact spot without guessing. The wood has just enough grip to hold silver in place while hammering, too.

Olivia ★★★★★

I've been making bangles for years and this is the first mandrel that actually feels right in my hand—the wood is smooth and solid, no wobble when I hammer. The taper lets me size bracelets from small to large without switching tools, which saves me a ton of bench time.

Isabella P. ★★★★★

The tapered profile is perfect—I just slide the bangle down until it fits snugly, and it holds steady under the hammer every time. The wood is dense and solid, with no flex even during heavy forming work.
