Overview
Ring Expansion Set Smooth Mandrel Made of Stainless Steel and Rubber Mallet with Rubberised Handle Jewellery Tools for Ring Adjustment

The ring expansion set combines two tools that naturally work together during ring adjustments. The foundation is a smooth mandrel made of stainless steel with a conical shape, onto which you place the ring exactly at the point corresponding to its width. The second part is a rubber mallet with a metal handle and rubberised grip, which you gently tap on the band. The soft striking head does not damage the surface of the metal like a standard steel hammer. This set is useful at home, for making costume jewellery, and in a small jewellery workshop where minor ring adjustments are frequently made.

You slide the tight ring onto the mandrel as high as it will go, and then gently tap the mandrel against a firm surface. The ring moves down the cone due to its own inertia, gradually expanding the band. You can then gently tap the band all around with the mallet to ensure it expands evenly. The manufacturer states that this method can increase the ring size by 0.5 to 1 size, which is usually sufficient to relieve pressure on the finger.

The set is also suitable for repairing rings that have become flattened or lost their round shape due to impact. You place the deformed band onto the mandrel, press it down, and lightly tap around the circumference with the mallet until it returns to a regular circle. The smooth surface of the mandrel, without any size markings or grooves, does not leave imprints on the inner side of the ring.

  • Mandrel Material – stainless steel
  • Mallet – rubber mallet with two striking surfaces

  • Possible Expansion – approximately 0.5 to 1 ring size
  • Use – expanding a tight ring and straightening a deformed band
  • Package Contents – 1 smooth mandrel made of stainless steel and 1 rubber mallet

Before you start expanding the ring, ensure that it is entirely metal and does not have any stones set around the edge that could become dislodged during expansion. Work gradually and after every few taps, check how the ring fits, as an enlarged ring cannot be reduced back. Wipe both the mandrel and mallet with a dry cloth after use and store them in a dry place to keep the mandrel smooth and shiny.

The smooth mandrel and rubber mallet set is a simple solution for minor ring adjustments without visiting a jeweller. The sturdy mandrel made of stainless steel ensures even expansion of the band, and the soft rubber mallet assists in tapping and reshaping. The tools require no prior experience, just a sturdy surface and a bit of patience. They are suitable for home use, crafting with costume jewellery, and as a basic set of jewellery tools. Both parts of the set can be reused for each subsequent ring adjustment.
