jeweler's loupe
Diamond inspector's lens
A jeweler's loupe is a small magnifying lens used to examine gems, watches, and fine details in metalwork.
The lens typically folds into a protective housing and is held close to the eye: She examined the diamond through a loupe, looking for inclusions.
Loupes magnify between 5x and 20x, with 10x being standard for grading gemstones.
