Gain ExpressJewelers Loupe Magnifier, Jewelry Loop Magnifier with Light, Hastings Triplet Loupe 10X for Coin, Gem, Stamp, Diamond etc (White LED & UV Light)

Very well made. Gold rings are easy to read the weight and you can see bad places that need to be fixed. It comes in a little leather case with a slot for the battery key. It has batteries for the LED lights.

Muy buen producto

The LED light is a plus…

This is a good item now available at a much lower price than when I first started using these in my business as a gem dealer and jewelry designer. My major criticism of the item is the difficulty encountered in replacing the batteries. The connection is a small metal piece attached to exposed insulated wires which has to be positioned just right when the cover to the battery chamber is screwed in. In putting in and removing batteries, one has to manipulate the exposed wires which eventually wears them out, thus preventing the lighted functions from working, limiting the lifespan and usefulness as a lighted loupe.

Cumplio con mis expectations el producto.

Perfect for my use.

Good quality

I did not read the prior reviews before purchasing. But I still would have purchased because overall it is a great loupe. The optical clarity is excellent, as well as the price. The optics are larger than my GemOro Lite Loupe. Though the buttons and overall workmanship is not as good. As others mentioned, and expected, the batteries died within less than 2 months of usage. So I ordered 3 premium Duracell 395/399 replacement batteries. Prior to ordering the batteries I took it apart to see the battery numbers. I very carefully noted the order and placement of the batteries, plastic disc and clamped wire. The order from bottom to top is: 3 batteries with the + side up, then the plastic disc, then the clamped wire on top. Carefully screw the cover back on with the switch in the LED position. It is extremely sensitive and the cover does not screw down tight. It keeps turning if pushed. I was really nervous because the first time I tried it I wasn't getting any light. Then I read the reviews and it worked. I needed to screw it around a little further for the light to stay on. Appears to be working now, but it is rather delicate. Another person mentioned using tape, but I do not want to get it sticky. I would recommend this product. Just wish they would tweak it a little. Good luck!
