A loupe for specialist inspection and magnification

This loupe is an essential working tool for jewellers, as well as being deployed by experts in other fields too. See them in operation at antique fairs amongst traders checking hallmarks; or at stamp or coin auctions by collectors looking at tiny text or markings; or as a helpful magnifying tool for clock and watch specialists, and in other repair or restoration environments.

Using a jewellers loupe for the first time

Using a jeweller’s loupe is simple but requires practice for the best results. First, hold the loupe with both hands, one gripping the body and the other supporting the lens. Position it an inch or two from your eye and place the lens directly in front of the object. High magnification loupes like this have short focal lengths, which means you need to hold it very close to focus on fine details. Keep your hand steady to avoid shaking, especially with delicate objects. Finally, use one eye for the clearest view, closing the other to prevent double vision. With a little practice, it soon becomes natural.
