The Granát Turnov brand appeals to customers far beyond the borders. A good and current example is Japan, and not only with regard to the World Exhibition. Thanks to cooperation with the young Japanese ambassador Nao Yamada, who visited Granát Turnov for the second time, the story of the Czech garnet is gradually reaching the Asian people.
During her first visit, Nao got to know the entire production process – from mining to design to production. She realized that behind each of our pieces of jewelry is a sense of detail, time-tested procedures and a love for craftsmanship. She visited the secondary jewelry school, the Museum of Bohemian Paradise and Valdštejn Castle.
On her second visit, she toured the Czech Garnet Gallery and visited the Sychrov and Hrubý Rohozec Castles. She shares the experiences she gained in the Turnov region with the Japanese audience.
During our last meeting, Nao promised to visit the Czech pavilion at EXPO 2025 and participate in the Czech National Day. There, she will present Turnov as a city of jewelry and stone and introduce Granát Turnov as a place where real gems are created. We are very happy that we will have the opportunity to meet Nao here again.
