Instrument for observing jewels' brilliance as diamond, and method of taking photographs with said instrument

摘要

The present invention relates to an instrument for observing the brilliance of jewels, especially of diamonds, and a method of photographing them with this instrument. The instrument of this invention is composed of a lower tubular portion comprising a non-transparent material and an upper tubular portion comprising a semi-transparent material, and a magnifying observation lens can be furnished on the upper end part of said upper tubular portion in accordance with using purposes of the instrument. The semi-transparent upper tubular portion can move slidably with respect to the lower tubular portion. The diamond is positioned on a placing part within the lower tubular portion, and an observer studies it from the upper end part of the upper tubular portion. According to this instrument, the semi-transparent upper tubular portion adjusts appropriately the light directing to the diamond, and as a result, it is possible to observe characteristic patterns corresponding to the diamond brilliance. Further, the photographing method of this invention is to take photographs of diamonds within the lower tubular portion with a camera from the upper side of the upper tubular portion of the instrument, and it serves to judge the diamond brilliance more clearly than the conventional photographs of diamonds.
