"I'm DJ Poye, professional Jeweler and Gemologist and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. We're going to talk a little bit about safety.

But I've been wearing Opti-Visors for years and they are to optimize the piece to make it larger. So, I've been so used to wearing these for so many years. There are definitely more tools out there, higher quality but I guess you just get used to what you get used to."
