This sterling silver loupe is a great project piece for engravers and stone setters. In contrast to the chrome-plated version also sold by GRS, this loupe is solid silver and perfect for engraving and deep enough for stone work.

Magnus Svärd of Sweden created a neat design for this engraved loupe with stone setting. For a border, Svärd has used white stones to complement and contrast with the dark black of the simple lines he has engraved on the flat of the loupe.

The designed lines intersect the border to overlap and create a unified look with little effort. Overall, the simplicity of the design — with its few lines and single row of stones — for a border create a striking work of art.
