We love soaking up the sun coast to coast, and though our New York (via New Jersey) run is sadly coming to a close, CMD can’t wait to get back to The Golden State. Fall in the Bay Area is all about life au soleil—BBQs, music festivals, spectacular sunsets and long walks on the beach, just to name a few. In honor of San Francisco’s glorious Indian Summer we are paying homage to all things golden.
California’s gleaming coast ranks high on our list, as does the lovely sunshine itself (especially when it’s beaming brightly on our backyard succulents). We also fancy ourselves a bit of liquid gold in the forms of both iced coffee and crisp rosé. And while we love gabbing with friends, we’ve recently come to learn that silence is golden (more about that on the blog soon!). Finally, it goes without saying that gold jewelry—including that mixed with other metals—is perhaps the gilded treasure that makes us most proud. We love creating high quality, American-made jewelry, and our golden pieces have gone on to become wedding bands, oft-worn bangles and everything in between. This necklace, available in all gold with a hint of sun-like sparkly silver, is getting us extra excited for warm weather ahead. What are your favorite golden tokens, both jewelry and beyond? We’d love to hear more comments below.

As the year comes to a close, I’ve been sitting with a deep sense of gratitude and reflection. 2025 was a full year — creatively, emotionally, and energetically. It stretched me, grounded me, challenged me, and ultimately reminded me why I chose this path all those years ago. Here’s a look back at the year [...]
As we wrap up another busy, beautiful holiday season, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve shopped with us this year, shared our work with a friend, or simply followed along, your support means more than you know. Starting today, most of The CMD Team will be stepping away for a much needed break [...]
