Tom Tivol Jewels of Kansas City
Like many online and traditional jewelers, we showcase beautiful gemstones and jewelry in our Kansas City jewelry store, and offer a wide range of gemological and jewelry services. However, unlike most retail jewelers, Tom Tivol defines standards of quality that were prevalent in the world jewelry industry from 1900 through the 1970s.
At Tom Tivol Jewels of Kansas City, we define and maintain these high standards through the jewelry we sell and with the services we provide. Tom personally meets with each and every client to teach them what it really means to work with an independent jeweler who is a true expert in diamonds, gemstones, pearls, jewelry design and restyling, and jewelry repair.
The jewelry industry is built on relationships – the connection between jewelry buyers and their jewelers, and the standards of quality and beauty defined and taught by the jeweler to their clients. We take great pride in the relationships we’ve established with our customers over the years, and look forward to forging new ones in the years ahead. Whether you’re searching for the perfect diamond engagement ring in platinum, classic pearl earrings, an antique gold pendant, or other custom piece, we look forward to working with you.
Welcome to Tom Tivol Jewels.

- Garnet: January Birthstone
2012-01-09
I believe almost everyone has seen or knows a garnet ... that red or brownish red or pinkish red or brownish orange gemstone. All of this is true. But there is more, much much more. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the garnet family includes some of the most gorgeous gemstones in the entire world, and that includes almost every color imaginable.
- Blue Topaz and Turquoise: December Birthstones
2011-12-01
Blue Topaz and Turquoise: Two "Blues" for a Joyous Month of Gift-Giving! Two "blues" define the official birthstones for December, despite the fact that this is one of the most joyous months of the year.
- Citrine and Topaz: November Birthstones
2011-11-01
Citrine, the golden variety of the mineral quartz, and topaz, which grows in many colors, are both the official birthstones for November. Both gemstones are commonly found in a variety of countries, the large production from Brazil topping the list. The public believes citrine is an inexpensive yellow to yellow-orange gem found in most jewelry stores, and that topaz is the blue gemstone found in every sterling silver and silver and gold designer line of rings, earrings and pendants. Both statements are true; however these beliefs form because that is what is generally presented by jewelers to their customers.
- Opal: October Birthstone
2011-10-02
Opal is one of the great gemstones of history, one of the least understood, and one of the most difficult to analyze and value.
