All center colored gemstones, which are a favorite with the firm&#8217;s clientele, according to founder and CMO Jeeranan Suwannapirom. \u201cNinety-eight percent of the jewelry we sell contains colored gemstones,\u201d she says. \u201cEveryone responds to color, and each hue works its own special magic. From the powerful red of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/garnet\/\">garnet<\/a> to the soothing light blue of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/aquamarine\/\">aquamarine<\/a>, each color has a great story to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/colored-gemstone-engagement-rings\/\">popularity of colored gemstones<\/a> is the availability of larger gems at comparatively low prices. While a sizable high-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/diamond\/\">diamond<\/a> may be priced at six figures or more, a spectacular colored gem is an investment within reach for many collectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suwannapirom says she\u2019s able to offer clients exceptional jewels at attractive prices in part because Lilly M. is located in Bangkok. \u201cIt\u2019s the world\u2019s foremost hub for colored gemstones,\u201d she explains. \u201cBesides Thailand\u2019s famous sources of rubies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/sapphire\/\">sapphires<\/a>, we also neighbor the gem-rich nations of Burma, Cambodia and Vietnam. Coupled with the expertise of the Thai gem industry, which involves multigenerational knowledge and skills in mining, treatment, cutting and polishing, we have access to high-quality gemstones at competitive prices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Keleigh-Teller-Instagram-12.18.23-Screenshot--950x769.jpg\" alt=\"In an Instagram photo posted by Keleigh Teller, Taylor Swift wears a cocktail ring with a large opal surrounded by blue topazes\" class=\"wp-image-417812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Keleigh-Teller-Instagram-12.18.23-Screenshot--950x769.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Keleigh-Teller-Instagram-12.18.23-Screenshot--432x350.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Keleigh-Teller-Instagram-12.18.23-Screenshot--120x97.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Keleigh-Teller-Instagram-12.18.23-Screenshot--768x622.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Keleigh-Teller-Instagram-12.18.23-Screenshot-.jpg 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C1A5LHrP-mL\/?img_index=2\">Instagram photo posted by Keleigh Teller<\/a> (far right), Taylor Swift (second from right) wears a cocktail ring with a large opal surrounded by blue topazes.
