 "Excellent Item For The Money"Mar 07, 2010
I am not a "professional jeweler", in any way, but I do enjoy collecting, repairing and refurbishing wrist watches. Plus, in our family, we have an untold amount of "every day" time pieces, that are always requiring either a new battery or some sort of repair.
When I saw this particular jeweler's loupe, with the feature of "two rates of magnification in one small unit", I wanted to try it out!
This loupe is VERY WELL MADE. The chrome finish is well done and the lenses are crystal clear and flawlessly finished.
It even came with a plastic, (but fairly heavy duty,for something made of plastic!),snap lid box, which keeps the two magnifiers dust and dirt free.
I would very much, recommend this item to anyone, even a "pro", who may be looking for a quality loupe at a very reasonable price.
I was also very pleased with the vendor and the short time it actually took for me to receive this item.
Yes it's small, but works wellMar 03, 2010
Gives the magnification stated, and is perfectly usable though small - magnified view is perfectly visible. Great buy for the price, for sure!

Great Performance for the MoneyFeb 25, 2010
I received mine in excellent shape -- no scratches whatsoever on the glass as one reviewer found. The size of the 10x loupe is stated to be 18mm, but the glass is 15mm or a little under 5/8 inch. The size of the 20x loupe is smaller (for looking at smaller things) and is actually sightly over the stated 12mm diameter or about 1/2 inch. This size is more than adequate for looking at, for example, diamonds, but may not be big enough for geological purposes.
As far as the optical quality, I found nothing to complain about. The mechanical build quality is more than I expected for the price. If you want a bigger, more powerful loupe with a built-in LED light, even including a spare battery, you might consider the SE 30X Illuminated Jewelers Loupe. It has a plastic housing for the lens, but the illuminator works well, and the optics diameter is 7/8 inch, or about 22mm, which is more than twice the area of the larger loupe on this model. The price is a staggering $4.15.
Face it, these things are essentially free, assuming you take the free-shipping option. And you can look this gift horse in the mouth and come away smiling.

great valueJan 09, 2010
Another review of this item recommends that you buy a 10x loupe that is 10x the cost. Probably good advice if you are going to use it constantly. But for occasional use (I need it for one-off examination of coins), this is a much better buy. It is very basic but the optics are clear, which is all that matters. Construction seems to be good enough. One review complains that it's like something out of a gum machine. For the price that's about all you should expect, but it in truth far better, so I rate it a five for function and value.
