For jewellers forming rings from rectangular wire, this dedicated mandrel maintains the correct geometry during hammering. Its four flat faces prevent the profile from collapsing into an oval, a common issue when using a standard round mandrel. An essential forming stake for contemporary jewellery work.
Key features
- Tapered rectangular profile from 6 x 8 mm at the tip to 15 x 20 mm at the handle.
- Solid steel construction designed to withstand hammering with non-ferrous metals.
- Maintains the integrity of four-sided profiles during ring forming and sizing.
- Smooth, unmarked faces avoid marring the surface of your workpiece.
- Fitted with a plain black handle for a secure hold in the hand or a vice.
Who it's for
An essential forming tool for UK bench jewellers and makers of contemporary jewellery. Also suitable for apprentices and students learning to work with non-traditional ring profiles, ensuring correct geometry from the start.

How this compares
| Rectangular Ring Mandrel, Steel... | Alternatives | |
|---|---|---|
| Profile Geometry | Tapered rectangular profile, specifically designed to maintain four-sided integrity during forming. | Standard round or oval mandrel, causes rectangular profiles to collapse into an oval. |
| Material | Solid steel construction, built to withstand hammering with non-ferrous metals. | Lighter alloy or lower-grade steel, prone to wear or deformation under heavy use. |
| Surface Finish | Smooth, unmarked faces prevent marring of the workpiece surface. | Rougher or imperfect surfaces, may leave marks on jewellery pieces. |
| Intended Use | Dedicated forming stake for rectangular wire rings and contemporary jewellery. | General-purpose ring sizing, not optimised for specific non-traditional profiles. |
