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 couldn't see with our normal vision.  A triplet loupe is a magnifier that contains three lenses placed together in such a way that distortion and color problems are corrected. Magnification Power Loupes 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 and 20x means 20 times. A 20X triplet loupe is in my opinion the best choice for viewing jewelry, coins and other small items.  I find the 10X is not strong enough and that the 30X sometimes is too strong and distorts the object. HOW TO USE YOU NEW LOUPE To use a loupe hold is close to your eye and bring the item closer until it is clear to you.  This will be very close to the loupe.  After doing it a couple of times it will be like second nature.
