Janet,

    	I use the Zeiss binocular loupes the are the one tool that I find
    indispensable there only drawback is the price. The depth of field
    is more than adequate for jewelry work. Mine have a 4x magnification
    at 12" and have about a 1.5" field of view.  There is a brand of
    similar loupes from a dental outfit that is in Texas I think. They
    are not quite as good but cost about $750 vs $1300 for the Zeiss.
