• Granát d.u.v. Turnov is the cooperative that mines and cuts Bohemian pyrope garnet — the only holder of the 'Czech garnet' trademark; every piece comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity
• Authenticity is the whole game: much 'Czech garnet' sold on Karlova street and in tourist shops is glass or imported almandine — real pyrope is small (rarely over 8 mm), deep fire-red, never bargain-priced
• This pair sits under the 2,001 Kč tax-free bar — add a pendant to one receipt to qualify for the VAT refund
• Gold-set pieces with diamonds run 16,000+ Kč; silver is where the value is
