Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this loupe to replace a Bausch and Lomb Hastings triplet 10x loupe that I lost. Although this loupe cost $13 (compared to $45 for the B&L) I like this one better. It has a much larger viewing area and is just as clear.
By the way, I know it looks cheap and plastic in the picture, but it actually has a metal frame that has been powder coated. The manufacturer is located in a former Soviet Republic, Belarus. The plant was originally set up to produce optics for spy satellites, but now has diversified into everything optical. Although the companies name, BelOMO, unfortunately sounds like BLAMO, it actually stands for Belarusian Optical and Mechanical Association. Do a Google search on the company and you will be impressed.
By the way, I really think anyone who is thinking of purchasing jewelry should own a loupe. Buying jewelry without viewing it with a loupe is quite literally the same as buying it without looking at it. Diamonds are graded by what can be seen with a 10x color corrected triplet loupe (this item). Once you try it out, you will be amazed at what you can see.
As a final note, I bought this item through an Amazon seller called mgcgmh (I have no idea what that is supposed to stand for) and I was very pleased. I ordered it on Friday and my new loupe was in my mailbox on Monday. This is a $13 item, and it was refreshing to see a seller take the time to immediately ship it. I have lost track of the number of very expensive items I have ordered that took days to ship. I wish all sellers were this eager to please.

Product Description:
The BelOMO 10x21mm(0.85") Triplet Loupe Magnifier has a viewing area of 0.65" (17mm), much larger than the Bausch & Lomb Hastings Triplet Magnifier (see the image with both loupes for a size comparison). The large 21mm (.85") 3 elements lens making up this achromatic triplet gathers lots of light to provide a bright, clear, and color correct view. The 10x power magnification provides the best magnification to depth of field ratio and is the most poplular power for a handheld magnifier. The housing and cover have a matte black finish for gem grading. Belarusian Optical and Mechanical Association (BelOMA), makers of telescopes, camera lenses, and other optical components manufacuturs these loupes. Highly recommended by the Amateur Geologist. This is the lens we use all the time. Don't let this price fool you. The BelOMO loupe is a FANTASTIC buy. These are optical quality lenses, each one inspected and certified just like a camera lens, that stand on their own against the higher priced competition. BelOMO loupes are assembled using screws rather than rivets which allows them to be adjusted. Every BelOMO loupe shipped by Amateur Geologist is custom treated to prevent the screws from coming loose with usage. Don't be fooled by cheap loupes selling for nearly the same price of MORE! Many don't even tell the manufacturer. Why? Because they're cheap imports from China, Japan, Tawain or elsewhere which typically cost less than a dollar at import. If you don't know the manufacturer how can you know the quality? Is each lens tested and does it include the certification just like a camera lens? The BelOMO does. Triplet means three lenses made of different types of optical glass bonded together and designed that, together, they straighten out the light that comes into the front of the loupe lens so that it's the same when it leaves. Cheap mport triplets are just three identical pieces of glass, not bonded, that distort the image.
