If you’ve been on the fence about booking an appointment to build a statement stack or chat Special Occasion and bespoke jewelry, let me share a story that might motivate you to take the next step to collaborate with me!
Recently, I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful client who traveled all the way from Long Island—a two-hour journey—to visit me at The CMD Shop in Asbury Park, NJ. Robyn had been eyeing our Special Occasion collection for quite some time, and her visit was such a memorable experience for both of us!
Robyn first discovered CMD jewelry through two sales associates at her favorite Long Island shop. While the shop doesn't carry CMD, both gals were wearing square rings that they'd purchased from us online. Robyn couldn’t help but notice their rings and the saleswomen were nice enough to share our Instagram with her. Intrigued, she said she spent hours exploring our website (blush!) and fell head over heels for the Leo Ring, among other pieces like the Catalyst Ring and the Corlies Bracelet. Although she had a more traditional style herself, Robyn was eager to create a “hip and funky” mixed-shaped stack that would truly reflect her personality.
When she arrived for her in-person appointment, I was wearing my elevated (extra gold and diamonds, of course!) version of the square Third Ave Stack, featuring all-gold bands. The moment Robyn saw it, she reconsidered her initial vision and leaned towards a gold-centric design instead.
We dove right into the design process and started playing with a handful of different options. Robyn had a basic idea of what she wanted but wasn’t entirely set on the end design. “That’s why I’m here,” I assured her. We mixed, matched and played until we finally settled on a 14k yellow and rose gold combo that had us both squealing, “YES!!! That’s it!” She loved the Leo Ring but wanted to make it extra blingy with a much larger diamond. So, we crafted a stunning 5mm 14k solid gold band showcasing a gorgeous 4mm diamond, elevating the original design even further. The addition of the gold Catalyst Ring added just the right amount of edge and funk, bringing her unique stack to life without the perfect amount of statement and power.
This experience with Robyn highlights the beauty and great fun of appointments. Whether you’re joining me in person or virtually, coming with a vision or starting point helps me to jump you on your ring journey train to help create something truly unique. For example, Robyn said, “I love the Catalyst Ring, the Leo Ring and mixed shapes but don’t know how to make it just right.”
As a team, we thrive on making bespoke stacks that capture your essence, and I have a knack for designing pieces that are both balanced and beautiful... if I do say so myself! If you’re unsure of what your style is, I’m also here to help you to begin to define that. These one-on-one experiences completely energize me and make me feel extra connected with my clients. This, in turn, makes me love my job that much more! When we came up with a final design for Robyn, I personally felt like a small child on Christmas morning.
At CMD, we understand that each piece of jewelry is a treasure meant to last a lifetime. Whether you’re seeking a custom stack or heirloom-quality piece for a special occasion, or just simply looking to add to your collection — I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
In-Person Appointments: If you're local to The CMD Shop, or have the option of visiting Asbury Park (we are less than an hour from NYC on a no traffic day!), this is truly the best way to enjoy checking out our entire collection. I can also offer ring sizing on the spot, and exploring new ideas together in real time.
Virtual Appointments: During our session, I’ll share photos and videos as we build your stack, so you have a catalog of our creations to help you make the best decision. I've had great success working with clients all across the country this way. Once we finalize your design, I’ll collect payment and then send you a complimentary sizing kit to ensure the perfect fit before we start production on your piece.
Our customized stack designs typically take about 3-5 weeks, depending on the materials.
Trust me when I say that our entire team gets genuinely excited to work on Special Occasion and Bespoke orders, and we keep you in the loop throughout the process. That includes myself, too!
If you’re looking for something unique and meaningful — whether it’s for yourself to wear everyday, or a special occasion or gift — I encourage you to book an appointment with me. Also, feel free to join me with your partner or bestie… the more the merrier! You’ll have the opportunity to design a piece that reflects your style and story. Just like Robyn, we can create a super cool and stunning stack that will be the one you reach for on the daily.
Robyn, thank you for your amazing eye and style. It was a joy to work with you and to see your vision come to life!
So what are you waiting for? Your dream jewelry is just an appointment away! Book your virtual or in-store appointment today, and let’s create something beautiful together.
Hope to see you soon!
Colleen
