Friends, it’s almost here! This Saturday, October 4th, CMD officially turns 20 years old — and we’re celebrating with an unforgettable soirée in Asbury Park. The whole CMD Team is coming together under one roof for the first time in years, and we can’t wait to raise a glass, share some laughs, and toast to two decades of creativity, connection, and community with YOU.
We’ve pulled together some incredible local partners (who also happen to be female owned) to help make this anniversary party extra special:
C’est Cheese — Known for their stunning spreads, they’ll be setting the stage with charcuterie boards almost too beautiful to eat (keyword: almost 😉). Tina is the owner and her business is new to town… she’s the kindest human and I’m so happy to support her.
Sweet Dani B — If you know, you know. Dani’s cookies are little works of art, and she’s creating a custom batch just for us! Fun fact: Dani has a background in styling and worked with Martha Stewart for years.
The Bubbly Bar by Sweet Bar of Mine — Because no milestone is complete without champagne! We’ve hired the Bubbly Bar to keep glasses sparkling all night long. The owner, Stacy, is my sister’s super creative best friend and her business is new and already thriving. I’m so proud to have her cart at the event!
Harley Rose Floral — Nothing says celebration like flowers. I’m a minimalist so we’ll have a focal point centerpiece from Harley Rose. Sandy is so incredibly artistic so I love to give her freedom to give me a dose of beauty and whimsy. I hire her regularly to create dried wreaths for my home, too!
Together with these amazing women, we’re setting the table (literally) for a night to remember. You can expect:
Exclusive shopping: Fresh stock, the classics, and maybe even a few surprises.
Connection & community: Meet the makers, mingle with fellow jewelry lovers, and celebrate alongside our family and friends.
Great vibes only: Delicious bites, flowing bubbly, floral magic, and a party that’s been 20 years in the making.
The countdown is officially on, and we’d be honored to see you there. Bring your friends, wear your sparkle, and come ready to celebrate the past 20 years — and toast to the next chapter.
With gratitude and anticipation,
Colleen & the CMD Team

When it comes to jewelry, there’s something about a piece that pulls on the old heart strings — one that carries meaning, a memory, and a story only you could tell. Over the years, I’ve created countless custom designs. It never gets old to see a simple letter or name transform [...]
When I sit down at my workbench — usually with a fresh cup of coffee and a pencil sketch that’s already been lived in a little — I’m thinking about more than just metal and stone. I’m thinking about the way jewelry becomes a part of us. How a single piece can carry a memory, a milestone, or a sense of power that’s uniquely our own. I'm thrilled to [...]
Just recently, I posted a TikTok of Tayci’s Dream Stack after a client purchased one online. That post ended up getting thousands of views, hundreds of likes, and more than a few “I need this stack!” comments. It’s been so fun watching the excitement unfold, because this is what CMD is all about: interactive design. [...]
