Cmd Showroom

While CMD is well know for staple layering pieces such as bangles and necklaces or  stacked rings, our unsung hero the chain bracelet deserves a little (a lotta) love. This piece is perfect for a gal who loves to pile on an arm party (mix it with bangles!) or those who prefer their jewelry sparkling […]

My love of craftsmanship spans far wider than design, especially in the form of food and drink. Artisan coffee, farm-to-table fare, distinctive wines, delicately prepared sushi; I revel in a well-made provisions. But number one on my decadent bite list is definitely oysters. The process of shucking, the complex flavors and the experience of slowing […]

We at CMD have adored every minute of our trade shows this summer (like this and this), but nothing tops coming home to our brick and mortar retailers. The bay area is brimming with small businesses, and we’re grateful to be sold in several local shops (and of course, all our fabulous and diverse national retailers). Deserving of […]

Summertime in NYC is magical. Icy cocktails during scorching days; balmy evenings under twinkling lights; roaring waves beckoning us away from the concrete jungle and straight to the beach. While I adore every minute I spend in the oasis of my San Francisco home, a foggy July just doesn’t do summer justice. Days at the […]

My recent experience with Dwell on Design was gratifying for many reasons, largely in part due to the caliber of the designers – across multiple mediums –  that surrounded me.

We couldn’t be more thrilled to have the opportunity to debut our jewelry collection at NYNOW (formerly NYIGF – New York International Gift Fair).  I remember walking this show years ago, not realizing that showcasing at such a huge event was really within arm’s reach.  Now is finally our time!  We are looking forward to […]
