Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A forming mandrel for bangles and bracelets, tapering from 38mm to 76mm along its 15-inch length — the full adult size range on one stake. True up a soldered bangle, planish out hammer marks or bring a cuff to a consistent oval against a surface that does not move. The same thinking applies to rings: see our guide to choosing a ring mandrel.

Cast iron supplies the mass to sit still under hammer work, while the hollow core keeps the overall weight manageable when you move it. The working surface is smooth and polished, so silver, copper and other soft metals come away unmarked. A sensible early buy for a student workshop, too.

  • Tapered from 38mm to 76mm to accommodate the full range of adult bangle sizes.
  • Heavy cast iron construction provides the necessary mass to stay put on the bench.
  • Features a smooth, polished surface to help prevent marring of silver, copper, and other soft metals.
  • The 15-inch length gives ample space for forming, shaping, and planishing work.
  • Hollow-core design maintains rigidity whilst managing the overall weight for easier handling.

Who it's for

An essential forming tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths who regularly produce bangles and bracelets. Also ideal for jewellery students and craftspeople setting up a workshop with core forming stakes.

Joseph M. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly my silver bangle slid along this mandrel—the 38mm to 76mm taper covers every wrist size I work with. The cast iron surface is dense enough that my hammer blows feel solid and controlled, not bouncy. Definitely a step up from the flimsy wooden mandrel I was usi

Avery ★★★★★

Took me a full afternoon to hammer out a stubborn 60mm bangle, but that taper from 38 to 76mm meant I never had to switch stakes mid-job. The cast iron holds up to heavy planishing without bouncing, and the 15-inch length gives plenty of room to work. Solid buy.

Emily L. ★★★★★

I’ve been shaping bangles for years and this taper from 38 to 76mm covers every wrist size I run into, so I rarely reach for another stake. The 15-inch length gives me plenty of room to planish without the piece sliding off, and the round steel holds up to heavy hammering without marring.
