Don't know how to choose a magnifier or loupe? Need a better understanding of loupes and magnifiers before you make your decision? Refer to our "Magnifier and Loupe Guide" for help in making the right choice.

Some of our best sellers are the 10x Jewelry Triplet Loupes from Nikon and B&L. 10x Jewelry Triplet magnifier is the type of the loupe used by professional jewelers to grade diamonds and other gemstones. Anything in a gemstone that requires a loupe more powerful than 10x is usually not included on a grading report since it cannot be seen by the human eye without a loupe! Nikon 10x triplet and Bausch & Lomb Hastings Triplet loupe are designed with black framing around the triplet lens to eliminate reflections that alter the color of the object being viewed with the loupe.
