2018 Holiday Gift Guide

Interlocking Bangle Bracelets and Stack Rings from Colleen Mauer Designs

Happy holidays, guys and gals!

This year, I thought I’d put together a little gift guide to make shopping for each of your loved ones a bit easier, no matter what their individual style is like. I love the simplicity and organic nature of much of the CMD collection – it can be dressed up, dressed down, and paired to match anything from a men’s suit and tie all the way to a white T and long flowy skirt – perfect for the season of gifting and celebration.

Without further ado, here’s your shopping guide:

 

The Modernist
 

Independent and self-sufficient, she’s a break from tradition. She’d appreciate pieces that are a bit different from the norm, but still compliment her natural confident glow. Here are some great styles to start with:

  • The Large U Post Earrings aren’t your typical hoop earrings, but they make for a gorgeous subtle statement. This style is available in yellow and rose gold, as well as sterling and black oxidized silver color-ways.
  • These Large Gold & Silver Triangle Pull Through Earrings are light and easy – perfect for everyday wear. This style is also available in a slightly edgier, Black & Gold option as well.
  • The Large Gold & Silver Inflecto Necklace is a perfectly asymmetrical organic piece that dresses up any neckline.
  • This Extra Long Tri-Toned Virga Necklace would fall beautifully over her favorite blouse or sweater, and pairs nicely with a shorter necklace style should she love to layer (like myself).
  • The 5-Stack Four Color Square Stack Ring is a stunning statement piece with all the fixings. Square rings are my favorite. They’re deceptively comfortable, and just look at the way all of the metals mix and compliment each other when paired together in a stack like this. This is definitely a recent favorite of mine.
The Hip Mom
 

She takes care of everyone else’s needs first, and still rocks her own amazing style. She’d appreciate a piece that compliments her own flair and personality. Some of these suggested pieces even honor the idea of family. Take a look:

  • These Tri-Toned Classic Circle Hoop Earrings cover all the bases. Every woman needs her go-to hoop earring, and this one has just the kind of personality she needs. Available in gold (your choice of color – yellow or rose) with oxidized and sterling silver.
  • The Familia Necklace was designed to represent family and whatever that might mean to her. Her and her best girlfriends. Her and her siblings, Her and her pet. Her and her partner. Her and her children. This word can mean so many different things and I hope that this necklace can become a symbolic reminder of just that; Family. This necklace is customizable and you can choose whether you’d like a gold or silver chain and how many circles you’d like to represent la familia.
  • This Gold and Silver Interlocking Necklace is a beautiful statement piece, and can be a wonderful representation of partnership, or an intimate bond. Delicate, but a go-to she won’t want to take off.
  • The 3-Loop Tri-Toned Interlocking Bangle Bracelet is composed of one thick gold, one thick silver and one thin oxidized (black) bangle. It’s available in one size, fitting most wrists so makes an easy-peasy gorgeous piece for any gift-giving occasion.
  • The 5-Stack Four Color Round Ring Stack is a round version of the square stack mentioned above – slightly more traditional (in shape alone), but still funky and will pair well with almost any other jewelry piece she owns.
The Funky, Edgy Gal
 

Not afraid to mix, match, and contrast, she’d love some of CMD’s edgier pieces. Many of these styles contain black oxidized sterling silver accents that only add to the gorgeousness of the piece. Over time, they will fade to a stunning patina. CMD offers re-oxidation treatments so if she prefers the darkness, we’ve got her covered:

  • These Bow Post Earrings were born out of my latest collection, Forth Expansion. They’re different than anything I’ve designed in the past, and they’re a huge hit so far, and are available in all the CMD color-ways: Rose or yellow gold, sterling, or oxidized silver.
  • The Large Black & Gold Teardrop Pull-Throughs are light but eye-catching, and are available in silver and gold, or black and gold color-ways as well as in a slightly smaller version.
  • The Organic Four Loop Necklace is such a fun go-to piece. Along with most other styles in this list, it’s available in all the CMD metals of choice: rose or yellow gold, or sterling silver.
  • The Two-Toned Line Bracelet is perfect for every occasion, and the oxidized section wears beautifully over time. This is the lightest and most unique bracelet style CMD offers. There’s a necklace to match, as well.
  • Fresh out of my latest collection, the 5-Stack Mixed Shape Ring Stack is unlike any other stack in that it’s mixed shape as well as mixed metal! I’ve had so many bold, awesome customers mix and match stacks of their own with square and rounded square individual rings that I had to offer a curated style for the rest of ya’ll. They looked way too good not to! And this stack ring will not disappoint.
The Classic Woman
 

Always looking put together and beautiful, she’d love all of CMD’s classic favorites. These pieces never go out of style, and are available in all the color-ways. Whatever her go-to look is, we can match it:

For The Guys
 

CMD caters to men too!? You bet we do. Here’s where we would start:
