Review on Quality Optics USA Folding Jewelers Loupe Pocket Magnifier (Extra Large Fold Away Loupe) by Karla Richter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Big. NOT 10x, more like 5x magnification.

Oversized folding magnifier measures over 6" when open and approx. 36mm or 1.38" thick cap/handle. When closed, it measures 3.66 inches by 2.37 inches by 1.38 inches. In my opinion too big to fit comfortably in your pocket. The free opening is about 46 mm. Definitely NOT a 10x loupe compared to the Belomo 10x Hastings Triplet loupe, but not as over the top as many Chinese made loupes claim. , Much narrower magnification than the Carson LumiLoupe 5X Illuminated Loupe. Both loupes are dual air gap loupes that handle magnification well and have lenses large enough for a wide field of view and decent magnification with minimal distortion. Gemstone grading that requires a true 10x loupe by industry standards.

Pros
  • Jewelery making tools and supplies
Cons
  • Some small items
