Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A bench alternative to press-forming: ten polished steel dies in domed, concave and flared profiles, worked with the included nylon hammer to shape bangle and bracelet blanks by hand. Because the die controls the form, every piece repeats — useful when a design sells and you need six more. The technique is close kin to dapping and doming.

The nylon head moves silver, copper and other non-ferrous sheet and wire without bruising the surface, while the wooden base keeps all ten dies ordered at the bench and the steel post and plate hold the working die steady. Well suited to silversmithing students learning repeatable forming.

  • Ten polished steel dies in a variety of domed, concave, and flared profiles.
  • Includes a nylon-headed forming hammer with a wooden handle for non-marring work.
  • Supplied with a wooden storage base to keep all dies organised at the bench.
  • Features a steel mounting post and plate for securing dies whilst working.
  • Designed for hand-forming silver, copper, and other non-ferrous metal sheet and wire.

Who it's for

A practical kit for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths who regularly form bangles and bracelets. It is also ideal for apprentices and silversmithing students learning repeatable die-forming techniques as an alternative to free-form hammer work.

Ruby O. ★★★★★

The concave die in this set really helped me shape a smooth curve on my first bracelet attempt. The nylon hammer doesn't mark the metal at all, which is a huge plus. I've already started planning my next project with the flared die.

Stella I. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how cleanly the domed die formed a perfect curve on my first bangle blank. The nylon hammer delivers just enough force without marring the metal. This set is a solid upgrade from my old mandrel setup for consistent results.

Charlotte B. ★★★★☆

I was a bit skeptical about hand-forming vs a press, but the nylon hammer paired with the domed die gives very clean curves. The steel dies feel solid and don't mar the metal. Only wish it came with a small storage case for the pieces.
