Toner Jewelers Inc.

What Toner Jewelers Inc. does

Toner Jewelers Inc. is a privately held, family-owned independent jewelry retailer founded in 1980 by Mike Toner and operating from a single showroom at 6285 West 135th Street in Overland Park, Kansas, serving the Kansas City metropolitan area. The company's core product offering centers on engagement rings, wedding bands, fashion jewelry, natural and lab-grown loose diamonds, estate and vintage jewelry, and authenticated pre-owned Rolex timepieces, with Gabriel & Co. featured as a primary designer brand partner. The business operates a dual-channel model combining the physical showroom (Tuesday through Saturday hours) with a Punchmark-powered e-commerce website that supports online diamond search, account registration, and checkout, supplemented by Wells Fargo consumer financing and a layaway program.

The service portfolio extends beyond retail into jewelry repair (including laser welding technology for vintage and sentimental pieces), professional watch repair including Rolex servicing with a 2-year warranty, in-house custom jewelry design, and GIA-certified gemologist appraisals ($100 per item / $150 for watches, with a First Saturday 20% discount event). The company also buys gold, silver, flatware, and unwanted jewelry from consumers, creating a transaction-fee revenue stream distinct from retail sales. The 9-person staff includes a Master Bench Jeweler (Cord Criss), a GIA-certified Gemologist (Paizley Tew), and sales personnel with 114+ combined years of jewelry industry experience. Technology stack is conventional: Punchmark for e-commerce, Authorize.net and PayPal for payment processing, Podium for customer messaging, and Google/Facebook for social login. No AI, ML, or proprietary data capabilities are in evidence. The business is a small, single-location, owner-operated specialty retailer with diversified but locally-concentrated revenue and no disclosed funding or external ownership.
