Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A solid hardwood bangle mandrel for shaping and resizing bracelets with precision. This 8-inch tool provides a reliable form for bench jewellers working with precious metals.

What it does

This stepped mandrel allows you to accurately form or adjust the diameter of bangles. Its smooth, unfinished hardwood surface prevents marring, while the dense wood absorbs mallet impacts, ensuring a clean strike and preventing damage to polished metal. The graduated steps offer distinct sizing options for common bracelet diameters, simplifying the forming process.

How to use it

  • Select the appropriate step for your desired bangle size.
  • Gently tap or hammer wire or sheet metal around the form.
  • Clean with a dry cloth after use to preserve the finish.

Who it's for

Essential for bench jewellers and silversmiths resizing finished bangles or forming new ones from scratch. This tool replaces guesswork and reduces the risk of surface damage when working with wire or sheet metal, pairing well with chasing hammers and mallets.

Amelia W. ★★★★★

The hardwood feels really dense and solid in the hand, not flimsy like some other wooden tools I've tried. The stepped design let me shape a cuff bracelet evenly without any wobbling.

Edward B. ★★★★★

After using cheaper plastic ones that always seemed to bend, this solid hardwood mandrel feels incredibly sturdy and the stepped sides grip the metal perfectly for a clean shape every time.
