Cmd Showroom

Summer months in New York mean something a little different than they do in San Francisco. Mainly, they mean lots and lots o’ sunshine (in The Bay we have to wait for the fall to roll around before the warm months finally descend upon us). Having grown up on the east coast, a balmy summer […]

This extravagant event is open to all. Join me and the CMD team as we spread festive arm parties everywhere we go. Required for attendance: lots & lots of layered bracelets.

We’re all about staple pieces that transition through the seasons along with our wardrobe. Mixed metals tend to go with just about everything, and when it comes to summer months nothing tops off an outfit like airy, oblong hoops.

Summer may not (quite) be here, but recent sunshiney days have us dreaming of long warm nights draped in layered jewelry and breezy fabrics. No matter what the climate, squared rings and hammered bangles are always in season. The 4mm  + 5mm square oxidized rings, shown above, are similar in design but vary in width. Our dark […]

The benchmark of Colleen Mauer Designs is hand-crafted design, and our pieces take many forms—quite literally and figuratively—from sketches on a pad to finished jewelry. While every project is different, the dedication, attention to detail and, of course, love, that’s poured […]
