Ring Mandrel, Oval Solid Steel — 13 Inch, Tapered 15–22 mm, Jewellery Shaping Tool

This solid steel oval mandrel is the bench tool for precisely forming and sizing rings with a non-circular profile.

What it does

It allows you to shape and refine oval-sectioned rings without compromising their intended geometry. The precisely tapered surface guides your forming hammer or pliers, ensuring consistent curves and dimensions. Its substantial steel construction provides a stable platform for metalwork, while the smooth, polished finish prevents marring your workpiece. The knurled handle offers a secure hold, essential for controlled manipulation.

How to use it

• Secure the mandrel in a vice or hold firmly.
• Position your oval ring blank onto the tapered section.
• Tap or gently draw the metal to achieve the desired size and shape.

Who it's for

Essential for bench jewellers and silversmiths crafting bespoke oval or D-section rings. This tool is ideal for intermediate to professional makers who require accuracy over guesswork. It replaces imprecise methods and ensures a professional finish on everything from engagement bands to statement pieces.
