Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to all of this diamond education, but I am learning every day by coming here. Thanks to all of you who are so wiling to share your knowledge with us.
I am thinking about purchasing an Ideal Scope along with a loop and some other stuff. I found a kit here:
www.ideal-scope.com/cart_zoom_item.asp?Id=20&ShowAdd=Y
Is this overkill for someone who isn't planning on selling diamonds? Or do you consider it necessary equipment?
I know I definitely need a loop, but what about the other things...do I really need them?
I just want to educate myself and perhaps take these things along with me when I look at diamonds and perhaps use them on my own diamonds to see how they look to better educate myself. I'm really into the OEC's and OMC's and there are a lot of places that sell them right here in my city. Most of them have an EGL, very few have a GIA.
Would a professional think I was odd if I pulled out this stuff to look at what I am buying or is it normal, frowned upon?
Thanks for all of your help.
