Kizer Cummings Jewelers

I get to help people commemorate their life’s biggest milestones with wearable art made of metal and gems. What an amazing job! I came to the jewelry industry, by fate or chance, with a lifelong fascination with minerals (particularly of the sparkly varieties) and a love of jewelry design. After over a decade at Kizer Cummings, I have learned so much about jewelry, gems, and people! I love to share my knowledge and passion for jewelry with others. When I’m not at work, you will likely find me gardening with a song stuck in my head or napping with a cat. Fun fact: my 4H geology display earned Grand Champion at the Allen County Fair in 1999.

I feel so grateful to have found this job in 2023.  Since starting, I have gotten to meet my incredible work family and grow EXPONENTIALLY as an artist!  I love working on projects that seem impossible and designing unique pieces that inspire others to think outside the jewelry box!  If you'd like to see some of what I do, stop by the store and check out the cases (I may have a drawing or two scattered throughout!)

See all those pretty pictures on the website and socials? Yeah that me! I make sure everything online and instore looks pretty and enticing! KCJ has been apart of my story for quite a while. From very part time in high school to coming back full time in my 20's, the team has cheered me on every step of the way! (Including when I ran away to Florida for three years) I will always feel extra lucky to call KCJ my home away from home.

I started my metal smithing career in production of hand fabricated sterling silver jewelry in KCMO. I fell in love with the process, finding flow and creating beautiful pieces that bring the wearer joy. I am so grateful my journey has landed me here with the best team to work with everyday at KCJ.

Coming May 2025

I bring the vibes and the cute kids!  I keep the backend of our store organized and all loose ends tied up. I help with vendor relations behind-the-scenes and aid with events held. I love being a part of KCJ! Blaine has always put his team members and customers first and foremost. I have never felt like an outsider since I joined the team. All members of our team bring a very valuable piece of themselves and we all fit together! 

Allie has quite a history at KCJ. From Front of house sales and upkeeping the digital media to contract bench jewelry work. She has been a valuable member of our team for many years. As of July 2025 Allie is on a new adventure apart from KCJ and we are so incredibly excited for her! Her work is still all over our cases and she will forever leave an impression on our store!
