A striking or shaping tool structured to size and/or otherwise shape an object such as, but not limited to a jewelry object, which is mounted on a mandrel. The tool comprises a generally hammer-like construction including a head having a base. A striking member, having a striking surface, and an alignment member are connected to the base and are cooperatively dimensioned and disposed. The striking member also includes a mandrel engaging portion comprising one or more recessed, exposed surfaces dimensioned and configured to substantially conform to an exterior surface of the mandrel. The cooperative dispositions and dimensions of a recessed exposed surface and the alignment member facilitate a concurrent, movable engagement thereof with the mandrel during a striking procedure of the striking surface on the mandrel mounted jewelry object, resulting in a predetermined operative orientation of the striking surface relative to the jewelry object, during the striking procedure.

1. A striking tool structured to shape an object mounted on a mandrel, said striking tool comprising: an elongated head having a longitudinal axis and including a base and a striking member connected to said base, wherein said base comprises the striking member on one end and an alignment member on an opposite end; an elongated handle attached to the base, the elongated handle having a longitudinal axis wherein the longitudinal axis of the handle is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the head;said striking member including a striking surface and a curved mandrel engaging portion, wherein said mandrel engaging portion comprises a mandrel engaging surface perpendicular to the striking surface and wherein the alignment member comprises an alignment surface perpendicular to the striking surface;wherein a longitudinal axis runs tangential to the mandrel engaging surface and to the alignment surface with no obstructions between the mandrel engaging surface and the alignment surface, such that a straight mandrel surface may concurrently directly contact the mandrel engaging surface and the alignment surface; andsaid mandrel engaging surface disposed on said base is dimensioned and configured to movably engage the straight mandrel surface during a striking procedure of the striking surface on the object, andwherein said mandrel engaging surface is longitudinally dimensioned and configured to a transverse exterior surface dimension of the mandrel and disposed in inwardly recessed relation to an outer periphery of said striking member. 2. A striking tool as recited in claim 1, wherein said mandrel engaging surface comprises a curved configuration extending along at least a majority of its length, said curved configuration dimensioned to substantially conform to a portion of said mandrel surface being engaged by the mandrel engaging surface during said striking procedure. 3. A striking tool as recited in claim 2, wherein said mandrel engaging surface comprises a substantially concave configuration extending along at least a majority of its length. 4. A striking tool as recited in claim 1, wherein said mandrel engaging surface comprises a multi-sided configuration extending along at least a majority of its length; said multi-sided configuration dimensioned to substantially conform to said mandrel surface engaged by said mandrel engaging surface during said striking procedure. 5. A striking tool as recited in claim 1, wherein said striking member is removably connected to said head. 6. A striking tool structured to shape an object mounted on a mandrel, said striking tool comprising: a head including a base and a striking member connected to said base, wherein said base comprises the striking member on one end and an alignment member on an opposite end;said striking member including a striking surface and a mandrel engaging portion, wherein said mandrel engaging portion comprises a mandrel engaging surface perpendicular to the striking surface and wherein the alignment member comprises an alignment surface perpendicular to the striking surface;wherein a longitudinal axis runs tangential to the mandrel engaging surface and to the alignment surface with no obstructions between the mandrel engaging surface and the alignment surface, such that a straight mandrel surface may concurrently directly contact the mandrel engaging surface and the alignment surface; andsaid mandrel engaging surface disposed on said base is dimensioned and configured to movably engage the straight mandrel surface during a striking procedure of the striking surface on the object, andwherein said mandrel engaging portion including a plurality of exposed surfaces each recessed inwardly from an outer periphery of said striking member; each of said exposed surfaces longitudinally dimensioned and configured to conform to and slidingly engage an exterior surface of a cooperatively dimensioned and configured mandrel on which the object is mounted, during said striking procedure. 7. A striking tool as recited in claim 6, wherein at least some of said plurality of exposed surfaces are dimensioned and configured to slidingly engage different sized mandrels. 8. A striking tool as recited in claim 6, when at least two of said plurality of exposed surfaces are disposed in opposed relation to one another along said periphery of said striking member. 9. A striking tool as recited in claim 7, wherein said striking member is adjustably disposed on said head to facilitate each of said plurality of exposed surfaces being independently disposable in engaging relation with a correspondingly dimensioned and configured mandrel, at least during said striking procedure. 10. A striking tool as recited in claim 6, wherein said plurality of exposed surfaces comprise a plurality of curved surfaces. 11. A striking tool as recited in claim 6, wherein said plurality of exposed surfaces comprise at least four exposed curved surfaces.
