Cmd Showroom

Colleen herself is at the helm of the CMD ship, but many talented hands help keep it humming. The staff at the showroom, in the studio and far beyond are a vital part of the brand, and they’re some of our biggest fans. Frequently on the blog we’ll feature our extraordinary staff and share what […]

The post Staff Picks: Pieces the CMD Team Loves appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

Some things are just made to go together, and around the CMD studio black and gold metals are two of them. With an overwhelmingly positive response to the launch of our B&G pieces, we’ve steadily expanded (what started as) the mini collection into a core part of our line. A recent addition is our cinq […]

The other night, after a 10+ hour work day, I went home and sifted through a box of jewelry created shortly after Colleen Mauer Designs launched in 2005. I came across delicately strung beads and the beginning stages of my now signature wire-wrapped designs; beautiful relics of my personal and professional growth. Each year that […]

The post Ten Years of Love and Creativity appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

Please join us on Thursday, September 24th from 5pm – 8pm  It blows my mind (and swells my heart) to think it’s been a full decade since I began creating jewelry in Hayes Valley apartment. When I started my little company I had no idea what the future would hold, and after ten years of […]

The post CMD’s 10th Anniversary appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

We love soaking up the sun coast to coast, and though our New York (via New Jersey) run is sadly coming to a close, CMD can’t wait to get back to The Golden State. Fall in the Bay Area is all about life au soleil—BBQs, music festivals, spectacular sunsets and long walks on the beach, just […]

The post Golden State of Mind appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

The word ritual means, among other things, “a series of actions or type of behavior regularly and invariably followed by someone.” While several rituals run deep around the CMD Studio (Friday night wine sessions, for example) nothing is more dependable and anticipated then our at-home morning coffee. As someone who likes a strong kick to […]

New York, New York — we’re coming back for more. Though CMD is a proud San Francisco operation, we can never have too much time in the Big Apple. This week we’re headed back to the east coast for one of our absolute favorite events, NY NOW. Year after year we kick off our Indian […]

The post NY NOW & FOREVER appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

Close your eyes and imagine a whimsical, special place. What are you thinking? A childhood dream come to life? A sacred spot you discovered as an adult? A completely unique place that’s all your own? San Francisco has always been a place where dreams come true. SF is woven into everything CMD creates, and insistent […]

The post Magical, Mystical San Francisco appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

Organic, asymmetric, interesting shapes are a staple aesthetic of CMD. (Seriously, a hammered piece of metal makes our heart flutter.) Inspiration strikes wherever we go, and there’s no better example than our gradient collection. Think of beautiful, gradual sights found in nature: the horizon line above the ocean; slowly changing autumn leaves; the moon’s shadow […]

Certain adventures strike a special cord in our hearts, and my recent trip with my mom throughout Washington State was an experience we will both cherish for the rest of our lives. Though we’re already so close, our epic adventure blew our minds and strengthened our bond even more. I could go on for days about […]

The post A Family Affair appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

Though CMD is a San Franciscan operation through and through, we’ve never been shy about the path that led us to our happy home nestled beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. We’ve talked about our journeys through New Jersey and Virginia Tech, but long before we landed on the East Coast our humble beginnings started in […]

The post Adventures of the Wild West appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

We’re beyond proud that each and every CMD piece is handmade in San Francisco, and we know all the love poured into our jewelry shines just as brightly as the sparkling finishes themselves. Though nothing makes us happier then adorning fingers (and wrists, and necks, and ears…) with pretty things, our own working hands often […]
