Rectangular Ring Mandrel, Steel Jewellery Forming Tool, Rectangle Shape Hammering Mandrel for Jewellery Making 13"", 6 x 8 mm & 15 x 20 mm
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.

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. |
