Best Jewelers Loupes of 2024
These are my personal picks for jewelers loupes. These are magnifying glasses specially used for the jewelry and precious metals market. They are great for finding hallmarks on gold and silver as well as identifying the quality characteristics of gem stones.I have listed a few of my favorites and explained the benefits and drawbacks to all. When buying a loupe one of the most important things is to be sure that it has triplet lenses. Most jewelers prefer 10x magnification. It usually is all you need.
