My sister and I are starting to plan a trip to Prague. We are both antique jewelry nuts--she, costume; I, the good stuff. Does anyone have any recommendations for seeing ancient or antique jewels in museums (for me) and antique and costume jewelry stores (for her)? Are there any flea markets where we might pick up some 1930s Czech glass jewels? It would make our trip that much more memorable.
Thanks so much!

There are a lot of %26quot;antique%26quot;/ bazar places that have old jewlery. The best you will find in Dorotheum, the auction house next to the Estates Theatre.
Old glass and jewelry you find at the antique market in Bustehrad, next to Lidice memorial, it is a huge garage sale, every two weeks on Fridays: http://www.bustehradantik.cz/3.html

Check out Alma Antique (the downstairs part) in Valentinska, close by the Four Seasons.

Also the smaller of the two %26quot;bric a brac%26quot; shops in Tynska (behind the Tyn church) has a lot of this stuff but, It was closing down when I walked past last week so I don%26#39;t know how long it will be open. The bigger %26quot;bric a Brac%26quot; around the corner has jewellery as well but, not the quantity that the small place has.
