The evening was filled with so many meaningful moments and the sun was shining on our backs on a very sunny fall afternoon. We shared laughter, hugs, stories, and a few happy tears as we looked back on the journey that’s brought CMD to this point. Guests sipped, stacked [...]

Friends, it’s almost here! This Saturday, October 4th, CMD officially turns 20 years old — and we’re celebrating with an unforgettable soirée in Asbury Park. The whole CMD Team is coming together under one roof for the first time in years, and we can’t wait to raise a glass [...]

Friends, CMD’s 20th Anniversary Party is almost here and the nostalgia has really set in! I’ve been looking through old photos and reminiscing about CMD in the early days. That first leap of faith — saying yes to a studio I wasn’t sure I could afford — taught me something I’ve carried with me ever since: little risks open big doors. Every milestone CMD has reached since then has been built on that same  [...]

I had no roadmap, no investors, and no idea where this path would take me. What I did have was grit, curiosity, and an unstoppable urge to create. Two decades later, CMD has grown into a small-but-mighty brand with a team I love, a community I treasure, and designs that still light me up at the bench. [...]

CMD is turning 20 this year! And now, for the first time in a very long time, our entire CMD team will be together in Asbury Park to celebrate this milestone with YOU. It's going to be a CMD reunion and anniversary party rolled into one. We’ll be showing off the CMD collection and we’ll have light bites and drinks so plan [...]

The 6 featured designs (3 stack ring sets, 1 individual ring, and 2 bracelets) are available for a short time only, and once the sale ends [...]

Special design projects like Lee's are truly my heart and soul. Whether you have heirloom stones tucked away in a drawer or a beloved piece that doesn’t feel quite like “you” anymore, I’d love to work with you to create something truly special. You can book a custom consult with me [...]

If you’ve ever wanted to carve out time to meet one-on-one with me — whether to build your Dream Stack, reimagine heirloom stones, or explore custom Special Occasion design projects — now’s your chance! For the first time ever, I’m opening up a few Saturdays this August [...]

After a few magical weeks out west, I’m back on the East Coast — full-hearted, sun-kissed, and feeling deeply recharged. This recent trip took me back to where it all began for CMD. I set out west with a few quiet intentions: to reconnect with dear friends, to have slow mornings with the people I love and miss, and to feel grounded again. Life on the [...]

I'm popping up at the stunning Cavallo Point Lodge in Sausalito, CA! If you’ve never been, this magical spot sits right at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge and feels like a portal — equal parts luxurious and grounding, quiet and alive. I’ll have The Ring Bar set-up with all your favorite stacking rings, all of CMD’s best-sellers in tow, and a gorgeous collection [...]

What makes Cori’s ring set so special isn’t just the bold shape and metal combination — it’s the legacy behind the sparkle. We incorporated seven heirloom diamonds from her mother into a one-of-a-kind CMD stack that honors the past while celebrating the future [...]

Twenty years ago, I boarded a flight west with a single suitcase, 400 bucks, a degree in Industrial Design, and a gut feeling that California might just be the place where I’d figure it all out. I didn’t know then that those foggy hills and eucalyptus-scented mornings would become the [...]

Roll into the holiday weekend with 20% off 9 of our boldest, most beloved rings — ring sets, individual statement pieces and stackable staples designed to feel like armor and look like fireworks. These are the rings you’ll reach for when you want to feel strong, centered, and stylish [...]

It’s officially that time again — I’m gearing up to hit the road for another summer adventure out west. Before I fly cross-country and settle into van life for a few weeks of travel, pop-ups, and reconnection with old friends, I’m kicking things off with a local event that’s [...]

When we first launched the Round Armor Ring last year, I knew we were onto something. Designed to feel like a metal hug for your finger, it quickly became a favorite among bold-statement makers everywhere. And ever since… one question has echoed through my DMs [...]
