Happy International Women’s Day!

Happy happy International Women’s Day. I’m so, so proud to be a female owned and operated small business! For those of you who don’t already know, I currently have an incredible all-women bi-coastal team of 7 and I don’t know what I’d do without them. Here’s 3/7th of our team – photographed here are myself, […]

Handmade with love

Everything is a little more beautiful when it’s made with heart and made by hand. This applies to a lot of things: A good meal, a handmade card, and CMD jewelry, too. A big percentage of jewelry made today is mass produced. Larger jewelry manufacturers create hundreds of the same exact design with molds and […]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is a bit of a Hallmark Holiday, but I don’t think it has to be. I think it’s just a great day as any to show up and express your love – for the people you care for and for yourself. Whether you’re married, in a relationship or single, love and self-love should […]

What’s next for retail?

Over the last several years, we’ve seen a really big shift in how people are shopping – especially here in San Francisco. The city is growing, and the Bay Area’s tech boom is impacting a lot of businesses. While the city’s economy is absolutely thriving, many longtime San Francisco residents, small businesses, stores and restaurants […]

There’s a revamp coming!

Can we just talk about this ring and bangle conglomeration happening here? Some of this amazing jewelry is from other designers (lots from Fiat Lux). I especially love how this fine gal is stacking her square rings to her knuckle’s-full capacity and has nearly every finger covered in metal. Rocking it so hard! All of […]

My home away from home

When I first started CMD, I remember never wanting to own an actual brick and mortar as I thought it would be too much of a commitment. But then, this place just literally fell into my lap. To be honest, owning this space definitely has its ups and downs… keeping it maintained, cleaned, stocked and […]

What’s the CMD Street Team?

As loyal CMD fans know, we’re very proud to be a strong and unique bi-coastal team of women… eight women to be precise. Because we’re a small crew, we often need more help at shows, events, and even in the Showroom during those particularly busy times of the year. Our CMD Street Team is a […]

2018 Holiday Gift Guide

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, […]

Can I sleep and shower in my CMD jewelry?

My team and I get this question a lot, so I wanted to jot a few notes down here so your CMD jewelry stays fresh for years to come 🙂 If you’ve purchased any CMD pieces from any of the main collections I’ve released over the past few years, you probably have yourself a sterling […]

All about the layers

Fall is the season for layering, and I don’t just mean chunky knit sweaters, long socks and booties. Layering jewelry is my favorite way to put my favorite baubles and sparkly things on display and shake things up. Stacking isn’t just for rings, either. You can create your perfect arm or ear stack, or a […]

Oh, Sweet Gradients

Alongside my last collection, Forth Expansion, I also released a few new special occasion bands: The 3mm and 5mm Wide Silver and Gold Round Ring, in both square and rounded square, rose and yellow gold options, of course. These pieces are near and dear to me. The matte gold is soft, but stunning, and highlights […]

Meanwhile, on the East Coast…

Here in San Francisco, we’re experiencing what us locals like to call our second summer. October is a fabulous month to visit SF. The temperature is mild in the 60’s and 70’s, and the afternoons have plenty of sunshine and little to no rain throughout the month. If you’re out in the Mission District this […]
