jewelers loupe
Diamond inspector's lens
A jewelers loupe is a small magnifying lens used to examine gems, watches, and fine details in metalwork.
The lens fits in a folding metal housing that cups against the eye socket, freeing both hands for work.
Loupes typically magnify 10x, the standard for grading diamonds: She examined the stone through her loupe, looking for inclusions.
