Sparkle for the Holidays!

Reflections in Gold’s Tony Maggio Talks About Thoughtful, On-Trend Gifts for the Holidays, and the Importance of Peace and Happiness in Turbulent Times

As the holidays approach, Tony Maggio is ready to help you find a jewelry gift that will be cherished for years to come. Not only does he stay on top of jewelry trends, but he also upholds Reflections in Gold’s decades-long tradition of exceptional customer service and quality.

“This year, I’m seeing a lot of customers looking for fashion jewelry, including stacking rings and bracelets that let people mix and match to create a unique look,” said Maggio. He also noted that, whether buying gifts or treating themselves, customers are favoring more delicate designs this season.

One of the more exciting arrivals at Reflections in Gold is a nautically themed collection exclusive to the store. “We’ve just brought in a beautiful line of bracelets and necklaces with anchors, starfish, and compasses—all in 14K gold,” he added. Whether it's a bold statement piece or a more delicate design, Maggio promises something for everyone.

The Gift That Never Fails: Diamonds
Maggio believes you can never go wrong with diamonds, whether it's studs, a bracelet, a tennis necklace, or a classic solitaire pendant. “Every woman needs a pair of diamond earrings or a necklace to match. For my wife, I add to her collection each year,” he said. And while diamonds remain a timeless favorite, Reflections in Gold ensures options for every budget, from $90 to $15,000. “There’s something for everyone, and everything in our store is value-priced,” Maggio explained.

Changing Tastes, Modern Styles
Jewelry styles have evolved over the years, particularly among younger buyers. “We’re seeing a shift toward yellow gold and smaller, more delicate pieces,” says Maggio. Minimalist designs like diamond solitaire pendants and diamonds by the yard are especially popular with his millennial clients, who appreciate clean, modern looks.

When selecting jewelry for a loved one, Maggio advised paying close attention to their tastes. “Most women will tell their partner what they want, but it’s also important to notice what they already wear—whether it’s white or yellow gold, diamonds, or colorful gemstones,” he suggests.

At Reflections in Gold, Maggio and his family specialize in crafting memories that last a lifetime. As a third-generation jeweler who took over the family business five years ago, he proudly follows in the footsteps of his grandparents, Liz and Tony Sr., who founded Reflections in Gold in 1981. With a commitment to quality and tradition, Tony continues the Maggio legacy, offering Venice a thoughtfully curated selection of diamonds, fine jewelry, custom pieces, and elegant watches—all crafted with expertise passed down through generations.

Tony understands the importance of finding just the right piece, and he’s dedicated to providing each customer with personalized guidance. For the Maggio family, exceptional customer care is not just a goal—it’s the cornerstone of their philosophy, and they stand firmly behind every item they offer. “We go out of our way to help customers find exactly what they’re looking for,” he says, a testament to the Maggio commitment to quality and care.

Peace and Joy for the Holidays
For Maggio, the season is about more than finding the perfect gift. After a tumultuous year, his focus is on peace and happiness. “I’ve realized Christmas isn’t really about giving gifts—it’s about the people you spend time with. This year, I want everyone to feel happy and at peace,” he said. “If someone comes into the store smiling, that’s all I need.”

That joy and connection, he believes, are what make a truly memorable holiday season. Whether it’s a dazzling diamond, a nautical-inspired piece, or a delicate bracelet, Maggio hopes each selection will become a cherished reminder of the moments shared with loved ones.

So whether you’re searching for something special or simply want to spread holiday cheer, Reflections in Gold is ready to help Venice “sparkle” this season.

You can never go wrong with diamonds, whether it's studs, a bracelet, a tennis necklace, or a classic solitaire pendant.
