The above web page attempts to provide a pictorial comparison of the jewelry making jigs available in the marketplace.  Our WigJig jewelry making jigs are made by drilling numerous holes in aircraft quality acrylic plastic.  The holes in our WigJigs are not drilled all the way through.  The end result is that the pegs in our jigs tend to be more stable and for this reason our jigs are in general easier to use.  Many of our competitors jewelry making jigs are either molded out of plastic or drilled in aluminum with the holes all the way through the jig.  We believe that this makes the pegs in their product less stable and for this reason their product can be much more difficult to use. 

Our WigJig jewelry making jigs are clear so that you can lay them on a pattern that you find and by looking through the tool, decide where to position your pegs. 

We also have jewelry making accessories for our WigJigs including Super Pegs and a tool called a Spiral Maker.  These accessories work with our jigs to provide the most complete set of available patterns.
