My loupe arrived today. Game on!

My loupe arrived today. I have been examining everything!

Lucy through the loupe:

Feel free to send me, your friendly PS-neighborhood gemology student, your diamonds so I can practice grading on them. Purely for research, people. LOL!

@ohsomethingshiny May I ask which loupe you purchased? I have been back and forth on buying a new one, and trying to decide if I want one with an LED & UV lite or not, considering different brands, etc. I even started a thread about it awhile back, but have been slacking a bit on pulling the trigger.

I didn’t want to spend too much, just wanted a decent one to try out. This is what I bought and so far I like it:

You're gonna love your new loupe!
I thought every PSer had at least one!
I've had mine for 34 years. I guess I'm giving away may age.....
