Hi All,

My mom would like to get a tester to use when buying estate jewelry. Like this one:

http://www.amazon.com/PRESIDIUM-DIAMONDMATE-C-ELECTRONIC-DIAMOND-TESTER/dp/B000TD5TRM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1392066377&sr=8-4&keywords=diamond+detector

They go anywhere from $10 to $200++.

Also a recommendation for a jeweler's loupe would be appreciated.

Guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

No idea on the diamond tester, but I use a loupe for crop scouting. Mine is a freebee some chemical company gave out, but one of these days I'm going to buy a Zeiss. I think they are the top of the line.
