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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The post Meanwhile, on the East Coast… appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

In 2001, after graduating from Virginia Tech, I moved to California with a suitcase packed of the few things that I owned and a whole lot of aspiration. I studied hard in school and was able to graduate with honors and a degree in Industrial Design. The world felt like a big oyster and I […]
