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 [...]

Ever wondered who’s behind the jewelry you wear every day? At CMD, we believe that how something is made is just as important as what is made — and our team of four women is the heartbeat of that process. We collaborate daily across three states to bring CMD jewelry to life. From design sketches to final [...]

I never intended for my pinky ring stack to become such a conversation starter — but here we are! Over the last few months, I’ve received more comments about this stack than anything else I’ve worn in a while. Honestly? I get it. It's one of my newest obsessions, so let me tell you the real story behind it [...]

Summer is almost here (let’s goooo!), the air is warmer and we’re all pulling out the lighter, flirtier clothing… a perfect canvas for donning your next CMD piece. Today, we’re kicking off an Extended Memorial Day Weekend Sale by offering tiered discounts ($25 - $125!) based on your order total. Here's how it works [...]

CMD’s production studio is on the move… but we’re not going very far! Later this month, we’re moving into a brighter and slightly larger space just next door to our current studio in Trumansburg, New York (or as the locals lovingly call it, “T-Burg”). 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 [...]

In the chaos of everyday life, it’s easy to forget to celebrate the good stuff, the big milestones and even the little wins — but this year, we’re making space for all of it. CMD turns 20 this September, and while I’m still wrapping my head around this big milestone, one thing is for sure: I want to celebrate this year in a big way [...]

This one goes out to all the people who show up and to the ones who stay steady. Extra love to those who listen, who guide, who make space, who remind us of our own brilliance when we lose sight of our own direction. These six new designs celebrate connection and the bonds [...]

We’re not saving this magic for Metal Madness anymore — you’ll want to keep an eye on our drops year-round. (Trust us.) Unexpected shapes. Limited metals. Approachable pricing. And that same OOAK energy we all love. In my experience, I find that during [...]
