There are two things to note in the pieces shown above. First, it
should be obvious that the jewelry making pieces made on the Olympus or Olympus-Lite are
25% larger than the same piece made on the Delphi. Second, it should
also be clear that the pieces made using the same peg pattern, but
positioned on the diagonal for the same jig, are about 70% of the size of
the same piece when made using a horizontal/vertical pattern. With the
Olympus, Olympus-Lite or Delphi you can make smaller wire components by
using the diagonal for your peg placement.
All three jewelry making jigs shown above have the ability to make figures with
parallel pegs as shown above and the ability to make figures with angles
of 45 degrees or 90 degrees.
The general conclusion is that for smaller and more delicate shapes using
parallel rows of pegs, or angles of 45 degrees or 90 degrees choose the
WigJig Delphi. For making larger and bolder components with parallel
rows of pegs or angles of 45 degrees or 90 degrees choose a WigJig Olympus
or Olympus-Lite.

When trying to select a jewelry making jig, one thing to compare is the size of the
pieces that the jig makes. The pieces shown at right made in brass
wire were made on the WigJig Olympus or Olympus-Lite, while the pieces
made in purple wire were made on the WigJig Delphi. The peg pattern
used to make these pieces is shown below left for the Olympus or Olympus-Lite
and below right for the Delphi. Three patterns are shown for the
WigJig Delphi below-right. Pattern 3 is approximately the same
size as the horizontal/vertical pattern shown at left in the Olympus
Lite picture below left. Pattern 2 for the Delphi is the about
the same size as the diagonal pattern for the Olympus-Lite shown on
the right below. Pattern 1 for the Delphi is smaller than any
wire component that can be made on the Olympus or Olympus-Lite.
