Many of us ladies (particularly of a certain age) have been talking about eyesight in our lessons... today, after 43 years, I have finally formally lost my former eyesight status and am now committed to life behind lenses. Not just reading glasses but additional prescription 'jewellery making' specs!
These beauties have served me well for the last four years, but are alas no longer fit for my declining eyes. For those without the need for glasses, they are a fantastic way to ensure that you are perfecting your jewellery finishes, and particularly important as you progress into more advance techniques such as claw settings. These were around £80 from Cookson but they also sell cheaper 'Optivisors', which come with different magnification and are also fantastic. Amazon also have reasonable priced magnifying glasses, and you can also get nice ones with a headlamp which is super useful in classrooms where the lighting is often not quite 'jewellery-making standard'!
Let me know if you want to try these or my Optivisor, before investing.
