How is a loupe used?

Inspecting Your Diamond With A Loupe

The jeweler's loupe is an essential tool for looking deep inside a diamond, or closely inspecting a piece of jewelry. To use a loupe correctly, hold it very close to your eye, and bring the piece of jewelry or gemstone very close to the loupe to focus in on it. Focal length is usually around one inch, so don't be afraid to bring the piece right up near the loupe and get a good look inside!
