Bergeon 5461 Stainless Steel Wire Magnifier Holder - Stainless Steel Wire - Fits All Magnifiers

Surprised at the excellent quality and perfect fit with the Bergeron loupe.

Good quality but very loose fit for me. Maybe I need to adjust it more.

great quality.

This Bergeon one is made of spring steel, as it should be, and is the choice of the pros, while still only about $8-$10 more than the cheap non-Bergeon, non-spring steel garbage that you will see. If you need one the Bergeon is clearly the only one to consider.

When you need both hands to work with and there’s no other way to hold the loupe, you need something like this. It’s a bit to fumble with, but you can get it positioned (without glasses). If you are wearing glasses, you’ll need a small piece of masking tape or painters tape, something with not too much tack to hold it in position on the lens of your spectacles.

This holder is made for Bergeon loupe holder. It is not universal. I reformed the holder portion by unwinding it and got my standard loupe into it. However the head portion must be for a head much larger then mine as I cannot get it to fit well. Best fit I could find is over my head and the end under my chin.

I began disassembling watches during a long illness . I guessed I needed a high magnification sapphire lens. Wrong. You need about 5X magnification for most purposes and a well vented plastic lens. Too much magnification makes your work harder and glass or sapphire in a non ventilated loupe will get condensation on it also making your job harder. I looked up what actual jewelers use and this is it.

It would be great if there was a video to attach the loupe to the wire. The wire looks awfully small.
