Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Hammer a five-sided bangle over a round mandrel and the corners soften with every pass; the geometry you sawed and soldered slowly disappears. This mandrel has a true pentagonal cross-section, so each of the five flats sits fully supported while you work it, and the crisp angles between faces survive the forming. A specialist former for contemporary geometric bangles in silver, copper and other non-ferrous metals.

It is turned from solid wood, which gives while steel will not — the bangle takes the shape without the mandrel marking the metal. The 14-inch length leaves generous room for positioning and adjustment, and the smooth, unfinished surface is ready for the bench as supplied.

  • Features a true pentagonal cross-section for accurately forming five-sided profiles.
  • Crafted from solid wood to prevent marring of non-ferrous metals during forming.
  • Provides five stable, flat faces to support the bangle's geometry during hammering.
  • Measures 14 inches in length, offering ample space for shaping and adjustments.
  • Supplied as smooth, unfinished wood, ready for immediate use at the bench.

Who it's for

A specialist tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths creating contemporary bangles with a pentagonal cross-section. It is also suitable for students and apprentices learning geometric forming techniques in silver, copper, and other non-ferrous metals.

Julian X. ★★★★★

The pentagonal cross-section on this mandrel is dead-on accurate, so after a few hammer passes the bangle's corners soften exactly as promised. I've made three bracelets so far and each one comes off the wood smoothly without snagging. Really happy with how this tool transforms sharp geometry into a

Michael ★★★★★

I was skeptical that the corners would actually soften with hammering, but after a few passes on this 14-inch pentagonal mandrel, the five sides started to blur perfectly. The wood has a nice solid feel that absorbs the impact without bouncing.

Eva ★★★★★

After fighting with round mandrels for ages, this pentagonal one finally lets me shape bangles with clean, defined edges that stay sharp. The wood has a nice grip that keeps the metal from slipping while hammering. Exactly what I needed for geometric designs.
