5 JEWELER’S TOOLS EVERYONE SHOULD OWN

1) 10X Jeweler’s Loupe

A Jeweler’s Loupe is probably the #1 item that I’d recommend everyone owning. There’s so much a loupe can tell you: Whether your prongs are lifted, bent, cracked, flat… They can show you all the inclusions, flaws, blemishes and imperfections inside your stone. You can see if the stone is chipped, cracked, and you can see the facets, girdle thickness, if the culet is chipped, and you can read the laser inscription on the side of the stone (if it has one). You can also read the stamps or marks inside your ring, and you can check underneath the stones to see if they’re clean. You can use a loupe for gemstone identification, too see if the stone is cz or diamond. You can check the pleochroism of the stone, whether the stone is a doublet or triplet… You can also use it on watches to read battery numbers, see if your links have cotter pins or screws… It’s endless what you can see when you magnify your jewelry 10x. It’s highly recommended. And the best loupe to use: A BelOMO 10x triplet loupe. It has a dark casing, a large viewing area, won’t distort the item, and is easy to hold use, plus it’s fairly inexpensive too! It’s a MUST have! Buy a Jeweler’s Loupe TODAY!
