Cmd Showroom

When I first started CMD, I remember never wanting to own an actual brick and mortar as I thought it would be too much of a commitment. But then, this place just literally fell into my lap. To be honest, owning this space definitely has its ups and downs… keeping it maintained, cleaned, stocked and […]

Alongside my last collection, Forth Expansion, I also released a few new special occasion bands: The 3mm and 5mm Wide Silver and Gold Round Ring, in both square and rounded square, rose and yellow gold options, of course. These pieces are near and dear to me. The matte gold is soft, but stunning, and highlights […]

In 2001, after graduating from Virginia Tech, I moved to California with a suitcase packed of the few things that I owned and a whole lot of aspiration. I studied hard in school and was able to graduate with honors and a degree in Industrial Design. The world felt like a big oyster and I […]

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). After some team brainstorming and good planning meetings, […]

I’m a creature of habit and I get SUPER attached to things that I own. I will save all my extra dollars and buy a pair of Dieppa Restrepo or Freda Salvador shoes, then have them resoled over and over again. I also don’t mind if anyone notices that I always have the same pair of […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. Think of beautiful, gradual sights found in nature: the horizon line above the ocean; slowly changing autumn leaves; the moon’s shadow […]
