Proper Idealscope viewing practice

[ShoppingForARing]

I went to a local jeweler to look at loose diamonds..I asked to see the diamonds i was looking at under the idealscope..she placed it on a black piece of boardtype thing and put the ideal scope face down on top of the diamond. I tiled my head down to look through it. When I looked through it I saw hearts and arrows but it wasn't reflecting the way I see it on some diamonds online...the brilliance didn't appear right alhtough it had great specs.....was I looking at it right?

oh the idealscope thing looked like it was from the 1800s

Sure it was an IdealScope and not just an H&A viewer??

Same question - let me find you a pic of an IS.

You can place it on a little light thingie with a little hole to hold it that Garry makes, or you can hold it with tweezers, but the light makes it much easier.
