Drew and Kammie Rummell
Drew and Kammie Rummell have built a family business based on trust, honesty and hard work. In 2008, Drew graduated from Regis University with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience. He’d always wanted to be a business owner, and had always been interested in technology. When he was ready to propose to Kammie, he had his wedding ring set custom designed by John Hanson. Back then, Hanson was doing wax work by hand, and Drew was intrigued. After being a customer and going through the most important purchase of his life, he enjoyed the process so much that he offered to buy Hanson’s jewelry business.
About to embark on the second most important purchase of his life, part of the deal when taking over Glasmann & Hanson was that John Hanson would stay on, and Drew would apprentice under him. Now 8 years, two locations and a name change later, RUMMELL continues to enjoy an upscale clientele in the Ken Caryl area of Jefferson County, Colorado.
“I’m so proud of my husband, Drew. He has worked very hard to fashion a unique location where customers, who often become friends, can see where and how their jewelry is produced, whether by hand or on the computer. Find out why we’ve decided to proudly put our family name on every piece of jewelry we create.”
Connor Sullivan
Connor is a native of Ken Caryl, Colorado, having lived in the community his whole life. He demonstrated an early interest in the jewelry industry after taking a jewelry making class in high school. Unsure of what steps it would take to get into the jewelry industry and whether it was a viable career took a few years to iron out. Connor decided to pursue his dream and enrolled in jewelry manufacturing classes at Arapahoe Community College. Taking the initiative, Connor walked into RUMMELL Jewelry one afternoon just to ask some questions about how to get started in the industry. Impressed with his maturity and interest, Drew invited Connor to apprentice for the remainder of the summer. Seeing the CAD/CAM side of the industry for the first time, Connor was convinced this would be his path. He enrolled at GIA the following fall and graduated as a certified CAD technician from the Gemological Institute of America. When he returned home, he began working full time for RUMMELL Jewelry in the fall of 2021 and continues as a valuable member of the team today.
Nicole Muhammad
Nicole (Nikki) attended the University of Florida for her bachelor’s degree & then attended the University of Northern Colorado for her graduate degree in Special Education. After more than a decade as a teacher in Colorado teaching special needs children, Nikki decided to pursue self-employment in 2018. She decided to use her natural abilities of instructing, organization, and a sense of style, to start an organizing and fashion consulting business and personal training instructor. Through a connection of Connor Sullivan (above), Nikki was introduced to Drew to explore the idea of creating a line of jewelry for her to sell to her consulting clients. After some success with that line, it was clear that working together directly with RUMMELL would be a good fit and Nikki began working as a jewelry concierge and business relationship manager in 2022. She has a wonderful sense for design and is a great communicator, often building friendships with her clients as she walks with them through their various projects. As a concierge jeweler, she works to meet with her clients when and where it is most convenient for them.

Stephanie Olson
Stephanie is a proud native of Colorado. She attended the University of Colorado Boulder, where she earned a degree in molecular biology. Stephanie spent the first seven years of her professional career at the Colorado Genetics Laboratory, specifically working in the field of cytogenetics. In 2016 she left the genetics field to embrace a new role as a stay-at-home mom with her 2 young children. Committed to both family and community, Stephanie took a part-time role with the non-profit organization Walk With Me, to make an impact on families who lost children during pregnancy.
In 2019 Stephanie’s grandmother passed away, entrusting her with a collection of heirloom jewelry. Stephanie brought the jewelry to RUMMELL and together they designed a set of stud earrings and rings that could be given to each female member of the family as a sentimental reminder of the important place their grandmother took in each of their lives.
After this experience, Stephanie brought her wedding set to RUMMELL along with the jewelry her late mother left to her and redesigned her wedding rings to mirror her own personal style. The process of designing and using her sentimental heirloom jewelry to create contemporary designs for her and her family introduced a passion for helping her clients create fashionable pieces that resonate with their individual style and heritage. Stephanie is an exceptional listener and is gifted with the ability to connect with her clients and help bring out their unique styles in the jewelry she helps them design.
