This is a question I get a LOT, and there isn’t really a one-size (or shape)-fits-all answer. Lots of my customers mix shapes and sizes when they’re at the ring bar, and it totally works for them. Your jewelry style and pairings should be an extension of your own style. If you’re a person who […]

One of our amazing production gals in New York was struggling with a really long commute. Even though Sam loves being a part of the CMD team, it was becoming too much (nearly 1.5 hours/day, which we all know is not a very good quality of life).

If home is where the heart is, mine is scattered in a million little pieces around the globe. Washington state, where I was born; my childhood home of New Jersey; my adult home (and the birthplace of CMD) in San Francisco—each of these destinations has carved a spot in my heart and will always provide […]

CMD is gearing up for one of the most well-deserved holidays of the year: Mother’s Day! We’re all about celebrating the fabulous, irreplaceable women in your lives, and we know the endearment mother takes many forms.
