9" Wooden Ring Mandrel, Tapered Ring Sizer Stick, Jewellery Making Tool
For UK jewellers and silversmiths forming or finishing rings, this 9-inch wooden mandrel is a core bench tool. Its smooth, tapered surface allows for shaping and enlarging precious metals without scratching, whilst the extended length easily accommodates wide bands and larger men's ring sizes.
Key features
- Extended 9-inch length provides ample working surface for wide-band and large-sized rings.
- Solid wood construction prevents scratching or marking the surface of gold, silver, and other soft metals.
- A continuous, smooth taper is ideal for forming, rounding, and enlarging ring shanks.
- Features a smooth, finished surface to ensure rings glide on and off without catching.
- Unmarked surface is designed purely for shaping and forming, not for measuring ring size.
Who it's for
A workshop essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery students. Its simple, robust design is suited for both repair work and creating new pieces from scratch, particularly where a non-marring surface is required.
