What is a Loupe?

 

A loupe (pronounced “loop”) is a simple yet powerful magnification device used by professionals across various fields. Here are the key details:

A loupe is designed to help individuals see small details more closely. Unlike a traditional magnifying glass, loupes are compact and often have higher magnification. They are typically held or worn close to the eye.

Professional Uses:

  • Jewelers and Gemologists: Loupes are essential tools for inspecting gemstones, jewelry, and hallmarks. A 10× magnification is standard for grading diamond clarity.

  • Watchmakers: Loupes assist in assembling mechanical watches, examining watch mechanisms, dials, and straps.
