I've bought garnet jewelry in two stores in Prague, both of which I'd recommend highly. One is Granat Turnov at 30 Dlouha (a few blocks from Old Town square)--that's the society or cooperative or something that kind of controls garnets in Czech Republic (probably like DeBeers for garnets). They have a large selection and are reputable, good service -- all prices. The other store I liked was a smaller boutique type places called Cesky Granat at 4 Celetna, also very near the square (other side). They have a smaller, but good collection, I found somewhat more interesting pieces there. Most of their stuff is gold or gold-plated settings, whereas Granat Turnov has everything from just sterling silver to gold. I think these stores are consistently cited as best choices in many guidebooks, that's where I found them.
