R. Scott Francois ~ Owner & CEO

Scott FrancoisScott represents the third generation of family to own and operate Feldstein Jewelers. We are one of the oldest jeweler in the state of Wisconsin as the ID tag says, "A Tradition of Trust & Quality Since 1892". That tradition of trust and quality is founded and maintained with state of the art education and equipment. Scott is a Certified Graduate Gemologist having attended the Gemological Institute of America at Santa Monica. He graduated with honors. Today, he serves on many advisory boards and pursues his continuing education. He recently earned the A.G.S. Title of Certified Graduate Gemologist. He is a "hands on" jeweler who is familiar with every aspect of the industry. You'll find him in the studio casting gold one day and in the lab grinding stones the next. Feldstein Jewelers is an Award Winning Jeweler whose designs are unique and individual. Scott pays great attention to detail in all aspects of his business. He has traveled worldwide to know the market and availability of Diamonds and fine gem stones. He traveled to Africa not long ago to purchase Diamonds Direct at one of the mine sites. His experience, exposure and education are the foundation of Feldstein Jewelers Trust & Quality Guarantee. Most often, Scott can be found on the sales floor working with his customers giving them the one-to-one level of unparalleled customer service that Charles Feldstein began over 100 years ago.

Scott is the father of three active youngsters. He is an avid sportsman with special interests in fishing and hunting. He and his wife, Julie, have realized a lifelong dream come true in today's Feldstein Jewelers having designed the building inside and out themselves and hand picked the jewelry. Their commitment to the Feldstein legacy is evident on every level.


Lee Lorenz - "The First Lady of Feldsteins"

Lee LorenzLee began her career in jewelry over twenty years ago. She has been a partner in the transitions that Feldstein Jewelers has experienced. Lee began in our flagship store on Main Street in the heart of charming downtown, Marinette, WI. She has seen Feldstein Jewelers grow into a multi-location operation and ultimately today into a free standing salon jewelry store. Lee is our seasoned veteran. She knows her customers by name and they know her. She has engaged couples and now welcomes their children into for the Millennium.

Lee's experience and knowledge are a given. If there is a question about jewelry, watches or fine crystal, she is the source. She has earned the respect of her peers and the trust of her customers. Her most significant asset, however, is her approach to customer service. Lee takes the time with each of her customers. She listens to them and meets their needs. Lee is equally committed to changing a watch battery with care and interest as she is showing a 5 carat Diamond. Such dedication to customer service cannot be taught... it's a gift.

Lee is the proud parent of two grown children, Lori and Dan. She is a talented gardener and loves to entertain.


Wendell Kopish

Wendell KopishWendell served two decades as a captain in the military service. There he earned his master's degree in business. Today, he brings that same discipline and attention to detail (that only a military career can establish) to the table. He has ventured into the world of find jewelry more recently to become the "Gentleman Jeweler". He is methodical and logical in his approach to jewelry. A strong proponent of product education, Wendell seeks to make our customers informed consumers. He takes time to explain the many important factors that create a fine piece of jewelry. His customers leave Feldstein Jewelers confident in the knowledge they have been given AND almost always with a Feldstein purchase. Wendell's concern and service to his customers is matched by his dry wit.

A devoted family man, Wendell's time is spent with his wife Nancy and their three children: Jason, Brad and Amber. He is active in the Masons and serves on the board of his church.
