Cmd Showroom

I’m finally back in San Francisco after an eventful two week trip out on the east coast. THANK YOU to all who made it to NYNOW last month. I look forward to this wholesale event every year, twice a year – it’s where we drop our latest and plan out the months ahead. This summer […]

During this crazy time of year, I try to stop sometimes and just watch it all happening. The New York production team is making and shipping jewelry at record levels, and it just makes me so proud.  The San Francisco sales team is working with all of our customers to make sure that their holiday […]

The holidays are here, my friends.  I know…that was quick.  I’m so excited to be popping up around The Bay at some of my favorite partnered shops for a few special CMD Holiday Trunk Shows.  I will personally be at each event, and I’d love the opportunity to show you my work—and get to know […]

    People often walk up to the Ring Bar, try on a few, and ask me, “Can I mix these together?” They’re talking about the different metals: rose gold, yellow gold, black (oxidized) and silver. It’s a really common question, actually. While you might not want to hear this, it truly comes down to […]

You may have heard the big news, but in case you haven’t: FORTH by CMD has made its official debut! I’m thrilled to share this inspiring collection with you.

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 […]

I love sharing my jewelry process with all of you. Designing is my passion, and from early concepts of a new collection to the final pieces coming off the production line, each CMD piece is a labor of love. For the recent collection, FORTH by CMD, I took a trip to New York and began […]
