| Jewelry professionals use a magnifier, also called a loupe (pronounced loop), to inspect gemstones and other jewelry. These magnifiers have special lenses that allow our eyes to focus on an object at a much closer distance than is normally possible, making the object appear to be larger and revealing tiny details we couldnt see with our normal vision.Magnification PowerLoupes are labeled with a number, followed by the symbol X, which means times. For example, a 2X loupe makes an object appear two times its actual size and a 5X loupe shows you a times-five increase.Best Loupe for JewelryA 10X triplet loupe is a good choice for viewing jewelry. It is the type of loupe used by professionals to grade diamonds and other gemstones. Anything visible through a more powerful loupe, while interesting, isnt included on a grading report.Look for a loupe with black framing around the lens, because black eliminates reflections that can alter the color of the object you are viewing.
