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.

While our Upstate NY studio isn’t open to the public, it’s where all the real magic happens. Every single piece is [...]
As Mother’s Day approaches, I find myself thinking less about picture-perfect bouquets or greeting card clichés — and more about the deeper, quieter forces that shape and support us. Because the truth is, “mothering” can take many different forms. It might look like a biological mom, yes. But it also looks like the friend who always picks up the phone [...]
Come join me at The Phoenix for a special CMD Ring Bar Pop-Up — our third year in a row! Colleen Mauer Designs (CMD) turns 20 this September (!!), and it just so happens that our longtime stockist and friend, The Phoenix, is marking [...]
