Park Jewelers

When Tony Tsirigotis, owner of Park Jewelers in Lake Mary, is asked why he likes the jewelry business so much, he answers, “It’s the connection to our customers and our community.”

Tony started in the jewelry industry when he was 19 years old.

“I learned quickly that it was so much more than just selling,” he says. “The relationships created with my clients was the most important part. As I developed those relationships, I realized that was what made me passionate about the jewelry industry.”

After 38 years, Tony still loves what he does.

“It’s an amazing experience to see generations of my clients spanning almost 40 years come in with their children and later their grandchildren,” says Tony. “Those children are now clients coming to Park Jewelers for their engagement rings. Being a part of these moments is the best part of my job.”

Today, Tony runs Park Jewelers with Sylvie, his wife of nine years, along with his son Demetre and daughter Maria and the store’s on-site jeweler Matt. Tony explains that having his children follow his footsteps into the business means so much to him.

“Our connection with each other only enhances our connection to our clients,” he says.   

Exciting News

When a young couple comes in to look for an engagement ring, it is often their first time buying a piece of jewelry,” Tony explains.

“Times have evolved,” says Tony. “Couples now come in together with photos of exactly what they are looking for. That is where we come in – to bring the image to reality.”

The Tsirigotis family is proud to announce that it’s an exciting time for Park Jewelers and its whole family. Demetre just proposed to his now-fiancée Zoey Rosenblatt.

“Like all young couples, Demetre and Zoey had a specific idea for that perfect ring,” says Tony, “and of course it was extra special for us to work with Demetre through the whole process.”

“Literally designing Zoey’s ring, from handpicking the diamond to designing the setting... I was so hands-on and was able to create the exact engagement ring for Zoey,” Demetre says. “Essentially, I was my own customer.”

The entire family is overjoyed and looking forward to Demetre and Zoey’s wedding next November.

Commitment to Customers

“Sometimes jewelry stores can give the impression they only have high-price-point jewelry, and people might not think they can find something in their budget,” Tony says. “We have jewelry in all price points that gives our customers with any budget a chance to find what they are shopping for.”

Most important to everyone at Park Jewelers is that customers feel welcomed and have a positive experience, whether it be for a purchase or a jewelry repair. The team’s commitment to providing their customers top-level service is their highest priority.

That commitment applies to jewelry repair as well as routine cleaning and maintenance, which Tony and his family encourage their clients to do regularly. Matt, the full-time jeweler on site, brings more than 25 years of experience. This provides customers with a one-stop jewelry store to handle repairs, ring sizing, and custom designs – all done in-store.

The selection at Park Jewelers is vast. It’s a large showroom carrying several brands of fine jewelry.

Roberto Coin and Shy Creation are two of the top brands. Roberto Coin is an Italian designer that features signature and iconic designs that stand the test of time. They are known for their craftsmanship and attention to detail in their classic and elegant jewelry.    

Shy Creation is an ever-evolving brand with a collection of contemporary fine jewelry.

“Shy is always on point with the latest trends,” says Sylvie. “Since we started carrying Shy Creation several years ago, we find so many women treating themselves to a piece of jewelry. Shy is all about layering and mixing and matching.”

“Mixing white and yellow gold is a trend our customers love to see now,” adds Maria.

Park Jewelers carries several other brands offering many different styles. Knowing your clientele and your community is the key to providing a selection of fine jewelry for anyone that comes in, according to Tony.

“This area has grown so much, and staying connected to its growth is vital to our business,” he says.  

Ultimately, that personal relationship Tony came to appreciate so early in his career has been passed down to his family, and it is the top priority at Park Jewelers.
