Cmd Showroom

Some things are so nice they need to be shared twice. Like free shipping. And holiday discounts. And part of your purchase going directly to victims of Sandy. All of this sound up your alley? Then CMD is right where you’re supposed to be. The elves at CMD are working overtime to get all your […]

One of the (many, many) beautiful attributes of San Francisco is the community commitment to supporting local merchants. A fabulous organization that has truly impacted my personal journey as a small business owner is SFMade, the only non-profit dedicated to helping build San Francisco’s economic base by developing the local manufacturing sector. SFMade assists local […]

One of my favorite spots in the Bay Area is Cavallo Point. This luxury retreat is nestled right across the San Francisco Bay at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge (gloriously stunning views). A former Army base, Cavallo Point is now home to historic lodging, high-end shopping and world-class dining – all of which […]

Just over a year ago my beautiful sister Shannon married the love of her life Dan. Congratulations on a year of wedded bliss! I was extremely honored to be a big part of their special day: they asked me to craft their wedding bands and all of Shannon’s bridal jewelry! While the couple originally envisioned […]

One of my favorite emerging looks from CMD this season is oxidized silver combined with gold. Oxidization is a surface treatment that creates a controlled, darkened patina on the silver. It transforms shiny sterling silver into an unexpected matte black, and I am absolutely loving it with gold. Mixing metals is one of my signature […]
