Review on 📏 Coomazy Measuring Mandrel: Achieving Perfect Polishing for Engagements by Hannah Curi

The little extras in this set make it extra fun and especially useful for beginner jewelry artists! You get a ring mandrel, an amazing metal ring gauge (which is a must have!), a silver polishing cloth, a file, and a universal size chart that you may or may not need. I only work with US sizes so I don't need it. Although all sizes are present on the ring mandrel, you can keep this table. You might even want to laminate it. Finally, you will receive a corduroy case. I would like to address the differences in ring thorns. The Coomazy ring mandrel included in this kit has cutouts on both sides along the full length of the mandrel. In my opinion, it is definitely not as easy to handle as a solid round mandrel. Also, the mandrel at the bottom of the sizing is sharp, which I don't like. I removed one star for these reasons (the last picture is my one-piece round mandrel which I have included for comparison). The disadvantage of an all-metal mandrel is that it is very heavy. The advantage of this set is that it is so light that almost anyone can use it. I also have a solid wood mandrel which I love! In my opinion, a wooden mandrel is the best of both worlds. However, if you hammer metal wire into a wooden mandrel under heavy use, it can wrinkle. Although I've had mine for more than 10 years and it's not badly dented. This set is at a very good price. At $11.99, you can't beat this price for what you get! You will receive a ring mandrel, a metal ring gauge. And I have absolutely no complaints with that! It's metal and you definitely need a metal ring gauge because they will keep their shape and will never break! You also get a silver polishing cloth, which is a must-have for almost any jeweler if you've never worked with wire or metal. You will also receive a file which is very nice to have. I have several metal files that are necessary for working with metal. You will also receive a universal size chart. If you're just starting out in jewelry making, you need this kit! Recommended!
