Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A round mandrel will fight you the whole way if the bangle is meant to be square. This former carries a continuous rounded-square profile along a 14-inch taper, so contemporary bangles formed from square or rectangular stock keep their geometry without distorted corners. It suits copper, brass and other non-ferrous stock as readily as precious metal.

Solid wood is deliberate: it will not mark or scratch the metal being worked over it, and the surface is sanded smooth so bangles slide on and off without snagging. The taper covers a range of bangle sizes along its length. Like any wooden former, keep it clean and dry and it will hold its profile.

  • Features a continuous rounded-square profile for shaping contemporary bangles.
  • Tapered along its length to accommodate a range of bangle sizes during forming.
  • Crafted from solid wood to prevent marking or scratching precious metals.
  • Sanded smooth to allow metal to be worked and removed without snagging.
  • All stock is held in the UK, ready for immediate dispatch to your workshop.

Eva ★★★★★

Finally a mandrel that actually holds a rounded-square shape instead of springing back on me. The 14-inch taper gives me plenty of room to work a wide cuff, and the natural wood doesn't scratch the metal like my old steel one did. Bangle blanks sit flush the whole way down.

James ★★★★★

I've been fighting round mandrels for years on square bangles, and this 14-inch taper finally solved it. The natural wood grips the metal just enough that I'm not chasing it around the bench, and the rounded corners come out clean every time.

Daniel H. ★★★★★

I've been fighting round mandrels for years whenever I wanted a square bangle, so this taper is a relief. The wood is smooth enough that my wire doesn't catch, and the 14 inches gives me room to shape a few sizes on one piece.
