Clients receive white-glove customer service from the TIVOL team of highly experienced jewelers, watchmakers, sales associates — many of whom have more than 20 years of industry experience. Founded in 1910, TIVOL has been a staple of Kansas City and beyond for more than 100 years.

Established in 1910.
It all began over 100 years ago, when a young immigrant named Charles Tivol opened our first store in downtown Kansas City. Thanks to his high standards of craftmanship, style and service along with his impeccable business ethics, TIVOL quickly became part of the fabric of everyday life in Kansas City. Clearly, his passion for the business rubbed off – first when his son Harold began working at TIVOL more than 63 years ago, and 32 years later when his grand-daughter Cathy took up the challenge. Now, as we have surpassed the 100 year mark, TIVOL is still going strong, maintaing our tradition of offering the world’s most beautiful jewelry and timepieces at a variety of price points.
