Microscope for diamonds, model HJ1000

Quicktest

£169

General For reading laser-inscriptions around the edge (girdle) of diamonds. In the photos we have used a micro-measuring scale instead of a diamond ring, each division is 1mm. For mounted rings, insert the ring shank into the foam until the girdle is level with the lens, turn the knob until the lens is close to the girdle and in focus (this distance determines the magnification). For loose stones there is a stone-holders. Customers ask: what is the difference between this (HJ1000-VID) and the HAD microscope (£575.00); at only £169.00 how well does this one work?

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as QUICKTEST LIMITED, number 06024230. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
