I love sharing my jewelry process with all of you. Designing is my passion, and from early concepts of a new collection to the final pieces coming off the production line, each CMD piece is a labor of love. For the recent collection, FORTH by CMD, I took a trip to New York and began […]

This is a very special week, as my beloved grandma turns 100 years old on July 29! Does she look incredible or what!? I feel so grateful that my life has been surrounded by strong, inspiring women, and my grandma is a huge part of that unshakeable foundation. Gram has been a trailblazer since she […]
