Does anybody here have any experience with the ideal-scope? It sounds like a good idea, but it might just be a gimmick. I am on the market for a diamond, so I need some tools, and I thought this would be a good one to buy. Any thoughts?

We purchased an ideal scope, and it is wonderful. We think that it was well worth the investment in our diamond shopping!

Best of Luck!

I use it all the time too, but I am biased :)

I used a $35 professional model, stock standard, on a recent buying trip where I purchased about 700 diamonds. I rejected more than 5000. That is hard work, and you really feel like a drink in the evening :)

I think they work. I bought several hundred of them in order to sell them. If I thought they just were a gimmick I would not have supported this effort to get these into the hands of future diamond buyers and I would not have wanted to put up such a large amount of money in a phoney item.

I think you will like it if you use one.

I live in the Atlanta area, is there any place close where I could buy an ideal scope? I am planning on making a purchase this weekend and would love to have on of these on my side!
