These easy-to-use and remarkably affordable Bangle Bracelet Forming Press Steel Die Sets let you create patterned bangle bracelets without the expense of a hydraulic press. This is the Scallop 24 Pattern die set — a 2-part tool steel die designed to form wire into beautifully textured bangle bracelets.
The dies accommodate copper, brass, silver, or gold wire up to 10 gauge (2.6 mm) thick and can form bangles up to 2-7/8" OD in round or oval shapes. Included aluminum spacers help center round bangles during forming; they may deform with use, which is expected.

Notes
- Dies are packed in a lubricant to prevent rust during storage — remove before first use.
- After each use, apply a thin coating of oil to keep the dies rust-free.
- Aluminum spacers will deform during use; this is normal and expected.
- A thin urethane or rubber pad placed under the die helps cushion mallet blows during forming.
