Both Quantum Valley-Hall Insulator (QVHI) and Quantum Spin-Hall Insulator (QSHI) are implemented into a simple mass-spring Kagome lattice. The transition from the trivial state to the topological one is described by an invariant Chern number function of a contrast parameter. The band diagram and helical edge states characteristic of QVHI and QSHI are obtained by a combination of numerical and analytical methods. In particular, these states are shown to be Stoneley wave solutions to a set of asymptotic continuous motion equations. Last, scatterless propagation of polarized topological edge waves around sharp corners is demonstrated and robustness is assessed through a parametric study. On the other hand, static mechanical polarization effects of Kagome lattice is captured by developing new micro-twisting theory, which is also validated by numerical simulation.
