Wow… what a glorious weekend. ✨
I’m still feeling the glow from CMD’s 20th Anniversary Celebration, and honestly, I don’t think I’ll be coming down from it any time soon! Saturday’s soirée in Asbury Park was pure magic. From the heartfelt hugs to the surprise visitors, it was one of those nights that reminds me exactly why I started this journey twenty years ago. Building lifetime connections with humans through my metal medium… that’s truly my why!
On Saturday, October 4th, we gathered in Asbury Park to toast an incredible milestone: 20 years of CMD. What began as a one-woman show at a bedroom desk two decades ago has blossomed into a thriving small business built on creativity, community, and connection. Seeing so many of you — my loving and supportive family, longtime and new friends, loyal collectors and local clients, and beloved community members — come together to celebrate was nothing short of magical.
The evening was filled with so many meaningful moments and the sun was shining on our backs on a perfectly sunny fall afternoon. The Bubbly Bar by Sweet Bar of Mine was set up in the outdoor garden where folks lounged and chatted away. We shared laughter, hugs, stories, and a few happy tears as we looked back on the journey that’s brought CMD to this point. Dani B’s cookie Ring Bar and C’est Cheese’s gorgeous charcuterie spread were huge hits. Not to mention the flowers — did you see all the stunning arrangements from Harley Rose!? My house is overflowing with vibrant flowers as I write this.
Guests sipped, stacked, and mingled beneath the warm lights at Space & Co, just one block from The CMD Shop. It was especially meaningful to have the entire CMD Team together under one roof — something that doesn’t happen nearly enough these days. I also had quite a conglomerate of San Francisco friends there so it felt like a mini reunion. And I have to extend a huge thank you to our dear friends and customers that made it out to celebrate with us — every one of you played a part in making this night so incredibly special.
Whether you joined us in person, sent your love from afar, or supported CMD in countless ways over the years, thank you. The texts, DM’s, calls, cards, flowers, gifts have been overwhelming for me – in the best way! This celebration wasn’t just about looking back — it was about honoring the incredible community that has shaped CMD’s story.
Here’s to two decades of handmade jewelry, meaningful connections, and shared stories. And here’s to everything still to come.
Thank you for 20 unforgettable years. 💛 My heart is bursting at the seams!
With so much love and gratitude,
Colleen

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on some of my favorite custom projects — the kind where memory, metal and meaning all collide. From heirloom diamonds and recycled gold to entirely bespoke wedding bands, these are the stories that remind me why I feel so called to this work... If you’ve been holding onto diamonds, want to recycle metal for [...]
When LP Giobbi asked me backstage at the Fox Theatre if I would design her and Chad’s wedding bands, I was absolutely floored. Floored in the “hold it together, Colleen” kind of way. Internally, I was doing cartwheels. If you’ve been here a while, you know that LP and I first connected through music and mutual admiration. What began as a soul-recognition [...]
Over the years, I can’t tell you how many times I have gotten requests to repurpose precious family diamonds or to redesign jewelry to have a CMD aesthetic. Clearly, there is a real interest in transforming heirloom pieces, resetting diamonds, or creating something entirely new from older jewelry you no longer wear. You asked and now, we deliver! [...]
