Meet your VanBrock associates and a few of its designers:

ASHLEE BRESSEL (gemologist/sales associate) loves connecting with her clients: “VanBrock has given me the opportunity to become friends with my clients and to grow with them. I love helping them celebrate their joyful occasions with that special piece of jewelry.”

RACHEL THOMPSON (sales associate) is passionate about making clients feel relaxed and at home: “We treat our clients at VanBrock as if they were in our home. What do I do when I invite guests into my home?  How do I make them feel warm and welcomed? I believe that making things special and personal for our clients is what sets us apart.”

LENISE WARD (sales associate) describes VanBrock as incomparable, comfortable and fun: “Clients who have traveled the world, as well as our region, have expressed their utter joy and gratitude for the genuine way they are treated at VanBrock. They understand and appreciate our “by appointment” business model, our unique gallery, vast designer collections, and impeccable service. As I like to say, ‘Jewelry always works, but if you don’t know jewelry, know your jeweler!’”

KRISTINA KLUG (associate development leader) believes VanBrock gives clients a unique experience they can’t find elsewhere in Kansas City, with most of its designers exclusive to VanBrock. Kristina encourages clients to shop for jewelry like they shop for a clothing wardrobe: “Start with the basics and add additional fun pieces over time. My favorite piece is diamond hoop earrings because they easily take you from day to night. I also love to see clients repurpose their old jewelry and turn unworn or heirloom pieces into something they love to wear (again).”

KIM STEVENS (executive) “VanBrock’s mission is to provide an exclusive and regal experience for each guest, where friendships are made, questions answered, and dreams come true.”  

MARCH POYTNER (representative) with Designer JudeFrances loves working with VanBrock. “Their knowledge of their clients’ needs and wants allows them to really choose specific items their clients will love. Because JudeFrances is a line that encourages women to find a look unique and special to them, having VanBrock represent and sell our line really helps women create that look.”

JUDAH SILVERMAN (public relations) with Designer Norman Silverman says, “We truly believe that VanBrock’s mission best represents the Norman Silverman brand and our passion for exceptional jewelry. Joining forces with VanBrock and its incredible team is undoubtedly a perfect introduction to the Kansas City market.”

“We have stringent standards for quality, so you know that you will be getting the highest caliber of diamonds and gemstones. Our associates are extremely knowledgeable and love to share and educate clients in a luxurious, yet fun and relaxed environment. Come to VanBrock for those magic moments that we are dedicated to create!”
