  5. Granát Turnov

    The vast array of stores selling garnet jewellery in Prague is confusing, but this is the connoisseurs' favourite and it's easy to see why. As the largest national manufacturer, it has a huge range, from genuine gold and garnet pieces to more affordable gold-plated silver and vltavín (or moldavite, a dark green semiprecious stone). Look for the sign 'Bohemian Garnet Jewellery'.

  6. Pavla & Olga

    Quirky-yet-fashionable clothes and hats are the handiwork of two sisters who originally were costume-designers in the film and TV industry. Past customers include photographer Helmut Newton, Britpop band Blur and Czech supermodel Tereza Maxová, although they probably didn't shop in this tiny store. There's a larger branch at No 30 Karolíny Světlé.
