KIMILAR Jewellers Loupe Magnifying Glass 30 x 21mm, Jewelers Loupe Antiques Pocket Magnifier Hallmark Eye Lens

Bought this as someone was using one to magnify a printed circuit board at work and have therefore made this purchase as a useful tool for someone who I know will really appreciate this magnifier .read reviews and also had this recommended

When I opened the package I was quite impressed with the loupe sitting snug in its own little plastic case, it is pretty weighty in the hand too for its size. Taking it out of its little case I was a bit disappointed by the quality of the metal, it looks okay and seems strong enough but the edges feel a little sharp to me. The glass lens are clear and strong enough to make out most hallmarks well. I have never used a jewelers loupe before and was holding it more like a magnifying glass, not good, then I remembered they hold the loupe right up to the eye, when I did this it worked well. I bought one without the light, I did not want to be bothered with dud batteries and the like, however when trying to see hallmarks on rings with the one I have it can be difficult to get enough light inside the ring to see the mark. Guess if your at a table with a table lamp handy it would be no problem but when your out and about not so good then again might just have to develope a knack in how to use it better. Overall a nice little loupe that will fulfill my occasional needs for many years and would recommend it.

Works well to read the small print on vinyl runouts. Takes a bit of getting used to but once you do the magnification is really good and clear.

I use it for my job, working in a jewellers, so it helps! Its really great to see the focus on small lettering or images, as sometimes can be difficult to see with the naked eye.

Reasonably happy with this. It's a lovely little item in its own plastic case which fits the Magnifier well. It is however quite difficult to use. You have to have what you are looking at dead centre otherwise it doesn't work which can be quite frustratingly difficult when you are trying to see Hallmarks in difficult areas. Saying that after lots of fiddling about I did find the Hallmarks and identified my jewellery so it fits my purpose plus it is very inexpensive. If I was 'out in the field' wanting to test jewellery I would be getting myself a better quality, easier to use item but from the comfort of ones home it's fine.

I needed this for jewellery and craft projects. With many available options, I am glad I chose this seller. The loupe is well constructed and feels solid & substantial. The glass is thick and clear, I can easily examine the intricate items I work with in minute detail. The loupe is housed in a plastic snap - shut case which makes for easy and safe storage. I And all this for a very reasonable price with fast delivery (mine arrived before the estimated date)

It's very cheap and it does a great job. Not afraid to break it making it a nice pocket-tool. Would recommend. Build quality is a bit poor and they misspelled 'Elements'

It is perfect just what I wanted. It was part of a gift for Xmas I'm sure the person recieving it will love it. It comes in a nice little box for storing it in when you aren't using it.
