Every Czech woman has something from Granát Turnov, a jewellery company that specialises in Bohemian garnet. This shop has a huge range of gold and silver rings, brooches, cufflinks and necklaces featuring these small, blood-red stones. There’s also pearl and diamond jewellery, and less expensive pieces set with the dark-green semiprecious stone known in Czech as vltavín (moldavite).
