I was looking for a reasonably priced jeweler's loupe to take along when I am going to rummage sales.  I like to keep an eye out for 10, 12, and 14 karat gold jewelry that is often sold at costume jewelry prices.  With the price of gold being at an all-time high, I turn it in for a great profit at Gold Guys.  With my aged vision, it's really difficult to see if there is a stamp on the jewelry identifying the karat.  I just got the pair of these jeweler's loupes, and they make the tiny on any imprint on any jewelry HUGE!  This will help me in determining whether to buy pieces of jewelry at the sales, as fake gold looks so much like the real thing.  I plan to keep one loupe in each car; that way I will be sure to have one handy if I run across a rummage sale.

Each loupe is metal with a glass lens.  The lens is very clear with strong magnification.  The lens closes up into the attached metal cover.  They each come in a small case and are securely seated in foam rubber.  Each comes in its own cardboard box as well and would make nice little gifts for anyone who either likes to examine their own jewelry or would like to start "gold hunting" like me.
