Achieve precise oval bangle and bracelet dimensions consistently with this stepped wooden shaping mandrel.

What it does

This tool provides five distinct, fixed oval diameters essential for repeatable sizing when forming bangles. The smooth, finished hardwood construction prevents any marking or scratching on softer metals like silver and gold, ensuring a clean, professional finish. It's designed for controlled shaping, offering a reliable alternative to tapered mandrels for precise, identical pieces. The solid build quality is evident in its smooth, splinter-free surface.

How to use it

  • Secure the tang firmly in a bench vice.
  • Shape your metal around the desired step.
  • Store in a dry place to maintain its form.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK silversmiths and bench jewellers specialising in producing consistent oval bangles and bracelets. It's also ideal for jewellery students and dedicated hobbyists seeking accuracy, replacing guesswork with a dependable method for repeatable sizing.

Daniel L. ★★★★★

The different oval sizes on this wooden mandrel make it so easy to get consistent shapes without measuring each time. I’ve already used it to size three bangles perfectly.

Brian B. ★★★★★

Finally, a mandrel that actually holds its shape while hammering—the stepped oval sizes are clearly marked, so I can switch between bangle dimensions without guessing. The wood is dense and smooth, no snagging on the metal as I work the form.

Carter K. ★★★★★

I've been struggling to get consistent oval shapes for my bangles, and this stepped mandrel finally solved that problem. The five fixed diameters let me whip out matching pairs in no time, and the wood feels sturdy enough for daily use.
