Made Where it Matters

Responsibly sourced stones. Hand-finished design. Crafted in Vinca’s Kansas City Plaza studio since 1987

At Vinca, the focus is on how jewelry lives in the world. Known for its in-house collections, engagement rings and wedding bands and well-considered pieces meant to be worn often, Vincablends time-honored techniques with a clean, modern design sensibility. The result is jewelry that feels considered and enduring. 

Vinca pieces are designed and crafted in its Plaza studio. They work closely with each client, taking a collaborative approach that values clarity and trust. Stones are selected with care, details are refined by hand, and each piece is guided from start to finish by the same small team. It’s a process built on attention rather than scale: one that allows every piece to feel personal, without being overstated.
