    I've never used that jig, but from what I can see in the ads, it
    doesn't create anything very interesting. If you use that, as Noel
    said, you might as well get something out of a catalog made by a
    machine. I personally make all of my ear wires by hand with pliers,
    one at a time, but I also like to make ones that DON'T look like I
    just bought them from a catalog. I actually get lots of compliments
    on them, simple as they may be, because they are different. And as
    simple as they may be, they aren't always the same, which is also
    nice. I can of course vary them here & there to fit the piece they
    are attached to, since there's no jig involved- length of drop,
    style of bend & curve, method of attaching to piece, etc.
