If you want to buy jewelry in Kansas City, Meierotto's Midwest Jewelry is the place to go. They have a huge selection of all kinds of jewelry. Much of their inventory isn't on display. Instead, you work with a salesperson who will bring out trays of items for you. I especially recommend Meierotto's for diamonds. You pick out the diamond(s) and then the setting and they'll create it for you. Turnaround time is fast even though the store itself is often packed.
