How to properly choose a piece of jewelry
Are you choosing a piece of jewelry as a gift for a holiday, anniversary, engagement, graduation, birth of a child or just for pleasure and you hesitate in your choice?
Read some of our recommendations:
A properly chosen piece of jewelry should, above all, underline a woman’s uniqueness and charm. For men, jewelry should emphasise their dignity and masculine charm.
Take note of the jewelry they wear, which they like and be inspired by their personality type, style, temperament or colour typology.
It is also important to know what occasion or event the jewelry will be worn for.
How to recognize genuine Bohemian garnets?
You can meet imitation of the Bohemian garnets in jewelry relatively often, e.g. by using glass or cheaper almandine.
Bohemian garnets belong to the pyropes, they have a deep red colour with a minimum of inclusions and bubbles and are found in relatively small sizes of 2-6 mm. Bohemian garnets of around 7 mm can be found, but these are already unique stones.
Almandines are usually purple-brown to raspberry in colour, larger in size and are often used as a centre stone.
It is difficult for a layman to distinguish Bohemian garnets with the naked eye. It is therefore recommended to be guided primarily by the size of the stone and its colour.
Furthermore, we guarantee the authenticity of Bohemian garnets set in our jewelry with the Certificate and the hallmark “G”.
We mine Bohemian garnets at two locations in the Czech Republic and process them only into our jewelry.

How to measure ring size:
The best way to measure your ring size is with special ring gauges by professionals in our stores, who will be happy to advise you. The ring size can be measured by using a sliding scale or by using thread, tape and subsequently measuring with a ruler.
Tips for successful measuring:
- The most accurate way to measure is with measuring rings.
- The best time to measure is at the end of the day when the fingers are at their largest.
- Repeat the measurement several times a day.
- The ring should not be tight on the finger, the size should be loose so that the ring can be turned gently from side to side.
- The ring should be easy to take off, without pressure or wrinkling of the finger skin.
- If the knuckle is larger than the root of the finger, the ring must go over the knuckle, therefore the fitted ring will be looser at the root of the finger.
