Cmd Showroom

Looking for a boo-tiful piece of jewelry for Halloween weekend? Our partially oxidized teardrop pull-throughs are the perfect finishing touch to any ensemble. Silver that’s been oxidized develops a matte black finish, and it provides an eye-catching contrast when worn with other metals. While the earrings above make a statement on their own, they also pair […]

Seven is traditionally a lucky number, from its significance in ancient mythology to our modern-day references (7 days in a week, 7 colors in the rainbow, 7 little dwarfs for Snow White). Seven happens to be a favorite number around the CMD Studio, too. When it comes to stacking rings, five just isn’t quite enough. […]

Sometimes, you’ve just gotta kick up your heels and cut loose. Last week I completely unplugged in Mexico (quite literally: there was not a single picture snapped nor email checked!) for the wedding of one of my dearest friends. Being present for her big day was so special, and a wonderful reminder that love transcends all […]

We’re constantly inspired by other designers and manufacturers, and when we discover handcrafted goods made by local creatives right here in San Francisco, well…we usually have a fan girl moment. Case in point: Bryr Studio, located in the Dogpatch. Bryr creates one-of-a-kind clogs that are part European, part Californian, and completely captivating.  Bryr founder, Isobel, has […]

We’re so happy to see our mention on San Francisco Travel, listed among some of our other favorite creators in the article What You Need to Know About San Francisco Locally Made Goods. We especially love that they mentioned how customers can ‘experience our production process and be inspired at our atelier.’

The big day is just around the corner. This weekend at NYNOW we are revealing our latest collection: TRI by Colleen Mauer Designs. For years our clients have requested jewelry that incorporates three materials, similar to the aesthetic of our stacked rings. Thus, the inspiration for TRI was born. Each piece combines a trio of […]

We’re kicking up our heels with excitement about the latest buzz from our showroom: a brand new collection is just about ready to launch. With each new CMD collection comes a happy wave of emotion; creating jewelry (in both our California and New York production studios) is always exhilarating. On that note, we can’t wait […]

One of the best things about the Bay Area is its proximity to nature—drive a couple miles any direction and you’ll find something beautiful. Recently I unplugged for four days, and I must admit living “off the grid” was foreign and fantastic. (Photos via Instagram @glampervan.us.) Just north of Sacramento, on the Feather River, we […]

Living near the ocean has been a familiar theme throughout my life. Growing up on the east coast I was at the beach constantly. Vivid memories of the sand beneath my toes and crashing waves still make me beam. After spending time inland years later, I made my way to the Pacific. Nowadays I spend my work […]
