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.

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.

- Amethyst: February Birthstone
2012-02-01
We begin the lovely month of February with a look at its princely birthstone, the amethyst, symbol of royalty, tracing its heritage to the Minoan civilization in ancient Greece about 2500 B.C. This is a gemstone that has been highly prized by monarchs of many countries over countless centuries, even though it is one of the most affordable and commonly available stones. Historians have absolutely no idea why kings and queens have loved this stone. Everyone knows the legend, that if you drink wine from a cup carved of amethyst, then you will never be drunk. Could it be that this story alone accounts for amethyst's royal favor?
- 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.
