Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Round bangles come out consistent when each is formed on the same fixed diameter. This hardwood mandrel provides four stepped sizes instead of a continuous taper, so repeat pieces in silver, copper or other non-ferrous metals match without constant measuring.

The wood is turned solid and finished smooth, which protects soft precious metal from marring and lets a formed bangle slide free easily. A squared tang at the end drops into a bench vice, holding the tool rigid while both hands control the hammer and the work.

  • Turned from solid hardwood to prevent marring or scratching soft precious metals.
  • The stepped profile provides four distinct diameters for forming bangles to set sizes.
  • A squared tang at one end allows for secure mounting in a standard bench vice.
  • Smooth, finished surface allows bangles to be easily worked and removed.

Who it's for

An essential forming tool for UK silversmiths, bench jewellers, and jewellery students working with non-ferrous metals. It is particularly suited to workshops producing bangles and bracelets in consistent, repeatable sizes.

Zoe ★★★★★

The four stepped sizes are so much handier than the tapered mandrels I've used before, since I can just drop a ring to the next groove and know it's the exact same diameter every time. The tang clamps solid in my bench vice and the hardwood hasn't dented once, even after a few dozen pieces.

Sophia T. ★★★★★

I make a lot of copper bangles and got tired of guessing sizes on a taper, so having four fixed diameters means every batch matches. The tang clamps solid in my bench vice and the hardwood hasn't dented after a dozen hammering sessions.

Avery H. ★★★★★

I've spent a whole afternoon hammering out copper bangles and the wood grain hasn't splintered or left a single mark on the metal. The vice mount held it rock-solid through every pass, which makes the stepped diameters feel genuinely reliable for repeat work. My silver rounds came off the tool with
