Our vast array of styles can be mixed and matched endless ways: from the most comfortable square digits you can ever imagine; to midi “upper siders” meant to be worn above the knuckle (or on a pinkie); to the thick slabs of metal in […]

Our TRI collection has quickly become a signature CMD style, and we’re often asked how we achieve the tri-toned effect within a single piece.

CMD is full of strong ladies that bring the brand to life, and we love highlighting each of them. It’s a pleasure to introduce our blog readers to Sam, one of the newer members of our team. Sam grew up in the Bay Area, and after a 2-year stint in LA, she’s back in the […]
