Aldo's Fine Jewelry Commended at 2022's Best of Central Florida Luncheon

Orlando Local News recently commended Mr. Aldo Santona of Aldo's Fine Jewelry the newspaper's annual Best of Central Florida luncheon at Hannibal's restaurant in Winter Park. Santona brings a lifetime of experience in the jewelry business few others can match in Central Florida.

Although Santona began his Florida operation in 1979, his experience extends even further to his time in Italy where he learned his profession.

"My family was in the furniture business in Italy. I started working in it as a young man and then I branched out to jewelry. I worked ten years as a model maker in jewelry. Later, I opened Gadit 74 in 1974, my store in Sassari, Sardinia. Then, I came back and moved to Florida in the late seventies."

One of the most established jewelers in the Dr. Phillips area, Aldo's wide selection beckons buyers far and wide, with stones curated on site by Italian craftsmen.

Asked about the most rewarding aspect of his work, Santona said: "Seeing a smile in the customer's face."

But Santona's mission goes far beyond just keeping customers happy. The Italian-American also harbours a deep religious faith and sense of service to those in desperation.

With every item purchased in Aldo's store, a portion of the money goes to children and people around the world in poverty or fleeing from war. Aldo explained his passion for helping others to the Local News: "I feel that all people deserve to live lives of dignity, we are all made in God's image. Whatever gold is worth, whatever diamonds are worth, people are worth in infinite amount more and I will always try to do my best to give back as my saviour has instructed me."

Whether proposing to that special someone or simply buying a gift for the holidays, now is the perfect time to visit as the store runs a Christmas specials. For more information call (407) 298-0890 or visit www.aldosfinejewelry.com.
