SAVE THE DATE - IG Live: Thursday, May 20th at 4pm PST. Join me and my bestie, Lisa on Instagram Live for a fun jewelry happy hour and cocktail tutorial! We'll be making French 75s and anyone who attends will be entered to win some CMD Bucks! Here's what you'll need to follow along at home: 1 oz Malfy Gin Con Limone, ½ oz lemon juice [...]
Those who know me know that mixing metals is one of my signature aesthetics. I just adore the way that the dark, matte silver pairs with bright gold. To achieve the darkened look, we purposefully oxidize sterling silver in our studio to create the gorgeously distinctive and stunning surface treatment that you see in so [...]
Mother's Day is almost here, and I'm all about celebrating the irreplaceable mom-figures in our lives. The word "Mom" can mean a lot of things and elicit all kinds of memories and emotions. They could be a grandmother, an aunt, a sister, a cousin, a furmom, a dad who fills the role of mom, or a friend who doles out the best maternal advice. I honor each and every one of those selfless people [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Anyone who knows me knows that I love stacking and layering jewelry -- it's the [...]
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 [...]
Meet the new Channel & Diamond Round and Square Rings from CMD. We love these eye-catching bands on their own, or as apart of a stack ring set. I intentionally designed these to be unisex, and the chunky 6mm band looks pretty spetacular on both the most delicate or [...]
Meet our new Sunken Diamond Stud Earrings from the brand new BLACK + WHITE Collection. They look gorgeous on their own, or in a second hole paired with a slick hoop earring. For this design, we've deep set our lab-created [...]
