Introducing Kitty Minervini and Mat Hale… two Asbury locals who I can safely say were my first official friends here in town. I love when the Universe brings people together. This is certainly a story of just that. I met these two at Dwell on Design back in 2013 and randomly ran into them on the beach in Asbury [...]
Meet Roshane Karunaratne aka The General. Born in Staten Island, this super musically talented man can be found cruising around Asbury on his skateboard, long hair blowing in the wind. I’ve always been so fascinated by musicians… especially when they can play ALL the instruments. When I found out [...]
I made this quick video to show you how to put on, wear and preserve your pull-through style earrings. CMD has several pull-through designs, and I always get asked how to best put them on. Most people's first inclination is to pull the ends apart, which will warp your earring [...]
CMD is all about the mixed metals, shapes and...finishes! Today I wanted to show you the difference between signature MATTE and SHINY finishes on our jewelry. The cuff on the left has a SHINY, high polish finish. If you look really closely, you can even see my reflection in the bracelet. This gives a "blingier" look [...]
As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, we wanted to spotlight one of our amazing customers. Robin is an amateur jewelry model with some incredible #CMDSTYLE. This born, bred and raised Californian loves mixing her CMD faves with her other jewelry [...]
I love being a designer... especially when my job involves helping someone create a piece for a special occasion. Whether it's an engagement, an anniversary, or a once-in-a-lifetime 50th birthday, what's a better way to celebrate than a piece from our special occasion collection [...]
Fall is here with crisp mornings and rich jewel-toned leaves. BLACK + GOLD is edgy, modern... and so incredibly perfect for October. Those who know me know that mixing metals is one of my signature aesthetics. I love GRADIENT, but I wanted something even bolder [...]
I love cuff bracelets! They're so versatile as they can be worn anywhere, with anything... and they make GREAT gifts. CMD cuffs used to be one-size-fits-all, but we now offer them in small, medium and large to better suit your needs! Anyone who knows me knows that I love stacking and layering jewelry -- it's the [...]
Starting Friday, ALL of our Happy Hour creations will be available for purchase at a discount for ONE week only! No, the Ring Bar HH isn't going away for good, but we'll be putting it on pause for the month of October while I get my new studio set up in Asbury Park, NJ. Be sure to tune in [...]
When I started offering Dream Stack virtual appointments, Sankil and Christopher signed up and together we designed these unique sets with the channel band as the main focus. Sankil's is all about the mixed shapes while [...]
It’s my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Anyea -- THE Anyea behind “The Anyea Stack” that we welcomed into to the CMD collection earlier this week. I had the best time with Anyea designing her Dream Stack over FaceTime, and she has such amazing #cmdstyle that we just [...]
One of my nicknames growing up was "Mauer Power" and The Colleen Power Stack is my heart and soul. This set combines two pieces from my newest Black + White Collection (I wear the original samples, in fact). It's made up of the channel ring, line ring, a thin [...]
