Lucas Doland
Owner
I joined James Martin Jewelers in 2012.
I love finding fun and unusual pieces of jewelry that people will love as much as
me. I love looking for jewelry with unique stones, design or history.
My favorite type of jewelry is an engagement ring. No other piece of jewelry has as much emotion or meaning invested into it as an engagement ring.
A fun fact about me is that I am a gemologist who spends way too much time annoying anyone who will listen with fun facts, history, and education about
different gemstones and jewelry.
Nicole Bahl
Inventory Controller
I joined the James Martin team in 2025.
It’s exciting to see how styles and trends change. What was once considered out of date can become popular again whether it’s metal color, stone shape, or type of stone.
I love colored diamonds. Yellow, pink, blue, green. They have so much depth and brilliance.
I have been on the Great Wall of China AND the Eiffel Tower. I love to travel.
Aidan Baxter
Bench Jeweler
I joined James Martin in 2025 as a bench jeweler apprentice.
There is always more to learn and everyday offers new challenges and opportunities.
I love cameos and anything that is hand engraved because of the untold hours of practice that goes into breathing life into an
inanimate object.
I enjoy reading and collecting esoteric and occult works.
Samantha Copeland
Sales Associate
I joined James Martin in May of 2023.
I love the fact that we get to help make life's important moments into memories. I also enjoy turning those relationships into lasting
friendships.
I'm a sucker for Gemstones and statement earrings.
I'm slightly obsesses with rocks...... I have a lot...... usually multiple in my pockets.
Kenny Smith
Bench Jeweler
I joined James Martin in 2023 as a bench jeweler.
I both love the history behind client’s special pieces as well as the creativity that goes into repairing jewelry. No two items are the same.
The variety of ring styles that come through our shop is amazing.
My favorite time of year is the fall. Sweater weather. Football. Sunday Chilli. I love it all.
Laney Hermsen
Sales Associate
I joined the JMJ team in 2020. I started as an intern in the inventory and
marketing departments of the store. After college, I joined the team full time
and eventually transitioned into a sales role.
What I love most about the jewelry industry is that, as a sales associate, you are there for the highs and lows of life. One day you are helping with a proposal and the next day you are designing a piece of memorial
jewelry. No matter the project, you always hope that you helped to make a
difference for your customer and their current season of life.
My favorite type of jewelry is chunkier gold pieces, especially rings. I love seeing all the intricate detailing and designs that
can be put into gold, giving it a completely different look.
A fun fact about me is that my fiance, Payton, and I just got engaged! My beautiful ring was designed at James Martin Jewelers. You
should stop in to see it :)
Andreana Shlegel
Sales Manager
2020 I do believe, it's been a blur.
I love that every piece of jewelry has a story and tells you about the beautiful
individual wearing it. The momentous part is that those stories will be passed
down from generation to generation.
A beautiful watch, to show your personality but most importantly to remind you
have value time is in this crazy world we live in.
I have a beautiful 98lb Golden-doodle named Leopold, who I swear is my soul mate. When I'm not home with him I'm out exploring the world because I can't seem to shake the travel bug I've always had.
Gus
Good boy
I joined in 2024 as Chief Greeter. Since then, I have really worked at being a
good boy.
I love the people that come in, say hi to me, and give me pets.
My favorite jewelry is puppy paw prints or anything that looks like a bone.
A fun fact about me is that even though i have been caught sleeping on the job
many times, i still get to come back to work everyday!
