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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

It’s no secret Dwell on Design is a major CMD happy place. In a spot among our people, seeing familiar faces (and meeting new ones) in the Dwell showroom always feels like coming home. This year’s show in LA was no exception, and we had inspiring, impactful (often hilarious) conversations with architects and designers of […]

<Photo by Sarah Deragon of Portraits To The People> The CMD studio is always buzzing away, and we’re constantly on the hunt for artisanal goodies to assist our work.  We relish other American manufacturers and love supporting them, because crafting a beautiful product doesn’t come easy (but is definitely worth it). Our current obsession? Artifact Bag […]

CMD is proud to be an equal opportunist business, and we’re ready to give the men in our life some jewelry love. Though our bangles and draped necklaces often end up on ladies, we’ve got some seriously stylish rings stacked upon the fingers of exceptional men. Speaking of stacks: our male clients love them! The […]
