Park Jewelers
by Laura Breen Galante
Park Jewelers in Lake Mary has a long-standing history in the community, especially as a go-to destination for engagement rings and wedding bands.
The full-service, independent jeweler recently celebrated 41 years in business. Owned and operated by Tony Tsirigotis and his wife Sylvie, Park Jewelers is located at the Park Place shopping center.
Young couples in Lake Mary and the surrounding area know they can find their perfect bridal set at Park Jewelers. They gravitate to Tony’s store because of its vast selection of fine jewelry in varying price points and a lifetime warranty on purchases. The knowledgeable team strives to provide superior customer service, whether it is a simple repair or a large purchase. Tony and his team genuinely care about their clients and make sure they get exactly what they want while being mindful of their budgets.
Impeccable Service That Shines Brightly
“We have no extra charges. We’re not trying to sell our clients into a financing program or an extra warranty; we stand by our product,” says Tony. “When it comes to working with a couple looking for engagement rings, we educate and guide them toward finding exactly what they are looking for.”
Tony’s son Demetre Tsirigotis received his Graduate Gemologist Degree from the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) in New York. His demanding training required him to receive a perfect score on every exam. Demetre’s knowledge is invaluable to the Park Jewelers team and their clients.
The Park Jewelers showroom carries some of the most coveted bridal lines on the market, including Fana, Gabriel & Co., Peter Storm, and Uneek. Other fine jewelry designers on display in the showroom include Roberto Coin and Shy Creation. With such a vast selection and price points starting at $250, there is something for every client. In addition, the store’s on-site jeweler is trained to do custom designs, stone setting, ring sizing, and other jewelry repairs.
After the proposal, when the future bride starts showing off her stunning ring from Park Jewelers, the couple’s friends ask, “Wow, where did you get that?!” Soon enough, those same friends are visiting Park Jewelers for their own engagement ring and wedding band needs.
“When clients refer us to their friends, it is the best compliment,” says Sylvie. “Their trust and confidence in us are what we want to earn with every client.”
Saying I Do to Each Other and the Community
“The youth are the building blocks of our community,” says Tony, who got his start in the jewelry industry when he was 19 years old.
Whether it’s an engagement ring or anniversary gift, jewelry is an important purchase. The time that the Park Jewelers team spends with clients who are making those special purchases develops into lasting relationships.
“It’s not just the engagement ring,” says Tony. “It’s the one-year anniversary and the 40th and 50th anniversaries. And we’re here for every single moment of it. It’s priceless.”
Tony’s clients are so loyal, in fact, that multiple generations of the same family are now coming to him for all their jewelry needs.
“It’s amazing when you see the third generation come in,” he says. “It’s a great feeling for me, and it’s great for Lake Mary and for the whole community. These young couples are getting engaged and married, and they’re starting their life. This is their home.”
Lake Mary will continue to be home sweet home to Park Jewelers, as well.
Says Tony, “We love this community and working with the people in it.”
