Vinca Jewelry

Vinca Jewelry is a jewelry store in Kansas City, MO. The store has been handcrafting fine jewelry in Kansas City since 1987, offering bespoke custom design services alongside ready-made collections. It serves customers seeking engagement rings, wedding bands, anniversary gifts, and everyday luxury pieces, with a rating of 4.90 based on customer reviews. Founded by Simon and Elizabeth Zouein, Vinca opened on the Country Club Plaza in 1987 with the belief that jewelry should be personal. The workshop remains on the Plaza, small enough to know every customer by name while serious enough to make pieces built to outlast the marriages and milestones they were made for. The store's history includes first visits to opal mines in Central Australia, the Tahiti Black Pearl market, Tanzania for tanzanite, a Sri Lankan ruby mine, and Madagascar for sapphires. In 1993, Tu joined as Store Manager, and in 1995, Christian, at age 13, learned to cast gold and designed his first pieces. The store began its first original holiday card tradition in 2013 and became available worldwide in 2025. Vinca's collections are built on the idea that each customer is an original, not a copy, with three collections, Freeform, Curves, and Angles, featuring wearable but distinctive pieces. Every diamond is GIA certified and conflict-free per the Kimberley Process. The store also offers jewelry services including ring sizing, stone setting, chain repair, full restorations, pearl restringing, watch repair, certified appraisals, and heirloom redesign, all done in-house by the same jewelers who craft their pieces. Customers can book bespoke appointments, and the store responds to inquiries within 24 hours with ideas and next steps, no commitment required. The store holds a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it, reflecting its long-standing reputation in Kansas City.
