Best gemstone/diamond calipers?

[Indylady]

I'm looking for a pair of gemstone calipers. I've had some of my gems for a while (and therefore lost or forgotten some basic info about them), so it seems like it might be handy to have a pair of my own calipers. Any suggestions?

Mine is digital and I just love it. I don't know if it would be considered "trade approved" but it works well for my purposes. I was looking for a name brand, but can't seem to find one. I *think* its named "Pocket Digital Gauge" Of course I threw out any accompanying company info, just keeping the operating instructions which seem devoid of any clues as the manufacturer, lol. Anyway, the top of the operating instructions has the title as "New Circular Digital Thickness Gauge" if that helps If I remember, it was under $100 but not probably by too much?

I got mine from Rio Grande & I love it too. It's digital & I can't find any product name on it. The operating manual says Electronic Digital Caliper -- real specific, there, lol. I can't remember what it cost but must have been reasonable or I wouldn't have coughed up for it. Rio Grande has a few you can choose from.
