A jewelry loupe is a small, handheld magnifying glass used primarily by jewelers and gemologists to inspect gemstones and jewelry. It typically has a magnification power of 10x, allowing users to see fine details, such as inclusions and surface flaws, that are not visible to the naked eye. This tool is essential for evaluating the quality and authenticity of precious stones. Jewelry loupes come in various designs, including those with built-in LED lights for better visibility. They are often made with high-quality optics to ensure clarity and precision. Many professionals in the jewelry industry rely on loupes to make informed decisions about gemstones and jewelry pieces.
