Hey Loungers!

The weekend is here, and I thought it was the perfect time to talk about one of my absolute favorite colors in the gem world: that vivid, lush green.

When most people hear “green gem,” they immediately think of emeralds. But today, let’s shine the spotlight on a true underdog superstar: Tsavorite, the brilliant green garnet that rivals emerald in beauty but often surpasses it in durability and fire.

Tsavorite was first discovered in 1967 by British geologist Campbell R. Bridges in northern Tanzania (near Komolo). He later found more deposits in Kenya’s Taita Hills in 1970, close to Tsavo National Park. It wasn’t until 1973 that Bridges, together with Henry B. Platt (then President of Tiffany & Co.), officially named it “Tsavorite” in honor of the Tsavo region. Tiffany’s subsequent marketing campaign helped introduce this gem to the world.

For a long time, it remained a hidden gem in the trade. But in the early 2000s, collectors and connoisseurs began to truly appreciate its rarity, and its prices have been climbing ever since.

What I love most? Tsavorite is 100% natural and untreated, exceptionally clean, incredibly durable, and possesses that spectacular glowing brilliance. It’s a true “gem of gems” — sturdy enough for everyday wear while delivering emerald-level wow factor.

One of my all-time favorites, hands down! 💚

Got questions about Tsavorite, other green gems, or anything in the colored stone world? Drop them in the comments, I’m happy to reply. Or even better, come visit us at Asia Lounges and let’s talk gems in person.

See you soon?

Hey Loungers!

The big debate of the moment: Natural vs Synthetic gemstones — and why we strongly prefer one over the other at Asia Lounges.
Want to understand the real difference?

Watch this short video and let us know in the comments: Where do you stand on this topic?

I’ll be here to personally answer all your questions!

Dear Colleagues and Gem Lovers,

Here are some shots from our latest Bangkok Gem Night!

As always, it was an awesome seeing so many enthusiasts and professionals alike coming together this great evening of networking with heart.

And what a heart YOU have! Not only did we smash through the 500,000 THB milestone, but we raised over 80,000 THB in a single night, bringing our total donations to the HDF Mercy Centre to 567,000 THB!

We’re now well on track toward our 1 Million THB goal for the kids at Mercy Centre. This is incredible, and none of it would be possible without your amazing support.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this gem-filled adventure!

Next Event:
📅 Sunday, July 6th
🕕 18:00 – 21:00 at Revo Bangkok
🍽️ Followed by dinner at Nadimos (for those who’d like to join!)

Hey Loungers,

As you know, we love dreaming up fun, unlikely combinations of gems for you.
In this case, it’s a stellar 20+ carat floral emerald carving paired with a 5+ carat seed-like rubellite carving.

It’s been on my mind for a while, and I think they could make a stunning brooch or pendant.

One design would draw inspiration from the long Egyptian golden fans, while the other would be shaped after the panache seen on the helmets of the French Republican Guard’s horses.

What do you say? Tempted to see us bring it to life? I sure am!

Tell us in the comments!

Dear colleagues and Gem Lovers,

The Bangkok Gem Night events are gaining real traction, and more of you are now planning your visits to Bangkok around our special gatherings.

Hey Loungers,

Dear Colleagues and Gem Lovers,

Today we celebrate you for helping Bangkok Gem Night raise over 500,000 THB for the children at HDF Mercy Centre.

Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to put smiles on these little faces and help lay the foundation for a brighter future — by ensuring they can start their education as early as possible.

The path to success for these children is being paved because of you.

Thank you! 🙏

We cannot say it enough: THANK YOU 🙏

Dear Colleagues and Gem Lovers,

Here is a short video to introduce you to the items that will be auctioned during our June 8th Bangkok Gem Night event.

As usual, the networking event will take place from 18:00 to 21:00 at Revolucion Cocktail in Silom, followed by a casual dinner at Nadimos, right next door.

Regarding the auction itself, 100% of the proceeds will go directly to our friends at the HDF Mercy Centre in Klong Toey. They are taking care of over 1,000 underprivileged children and orphans, and they need all the support we can give them!

This round of donations is sponsored by Gil Yuda, Arjuna Irsutti Photography, an anonymous donor whom we sometimes refer to as Bangkok’s most famous socialite, and yours truly at AsiaLounges.

Should you have any questions about the event, the donations, or anything gem- and jewelry-related, just leave a comment and I’ll be happy to answer.

See you on the 8th?

Hey Loungers,

Have you ever wondered what are the few first questions one should ask prior to purchasing a gem or a piece of jewelry?

In this short video we treat this issue and give you some of the questions we would ask you, or rather, questions you should ask us, upon visiting us here in our Bangkok office.

Want to know more? Listen in!

#asialounges #gems #infotainment #bangkokvibes #edutainment

Hey Loungers,

Can you guess what that lovely little gem is?

We got that yesterday, it’s a little over 4.5 carats and it belongs to one of our favourite gem family.

The answer is in the video and, as per usual, should you wish to know more about this gem family or any others, feel free to either ask us in the comments or come to visit us here, in the Lounges!

It’ll be my pleasure to welcome you and to help you discover our lovely world of gem!

So see you there ?

#asialounges #gems #bangkokvibe #edutainment

Hey Loungers,

Ever wondered why we, in the lounges, very seldom discuss the topic of origin ?

Here’s a video tgat, hopefully, will answer some of your questions on the matter and, as per usual, should you have any further questions, just drop them in the comment or reach out in MP.

See you in the lounges,

Dear Colleagues and Gem Lovers,
Last Monday, May 4th, wasn’t just Star Wars Day — it was also our latest Bangkok Gem Night!
Once again, members of the trade and gem & jewelry lovers came together under one roof to meet, greet, and chat over gem-infused cocktails at Revolucion Cocktail Bangkok.
Once again, the trade showed its generosity by raising another 20,749 THB for our friends at the HDF Mercy Center. This brings the total raised to 461,243 THB since August 2025!
Every single baht helps children in need in Klong Toey gain access to free kindergarten education or have a safe home. Tragically, a little over 100 of these children are orphans.
You can help too, either by joining one of our monthly events or by making a direct donation to the Mercy Center.
And if doing good for the kids isn’t incentive enough, remember that direct donations to the Mercy Center are also tax-deductible in Thailand. Two excellent reasons to get involved!
Our goal is to reach the symbolic milestone of 1,000,000 THB raised for them by December 2026.
Fancy being part of this beautiful initiative?
See you on June 8th from 18:00–21:00 at Revolucion for our next event!
