How Quickly Will My Order Ship?
It’s inevitable that quite regularly, we get a new client asking about the turnaround time for their order. Whether they’re simply excited for their new piece or need it in time for a special occasion, it makes perfect sense to want to know when your jewelry will arrive.
At CMD, every single piece of jewelry is handcrafted with love, care, and a whole lot of precision. Because of that, turnaround times can vary slightly — but rest assured, every order is made (and shipped) as quickly as possible without ever compromising quality.
Most CMD pieces are made to order, meaning your jewelry begins its journey after you place your order. Our small but mighty team (Aryana and Sam) in Upstate New York handcrafts each piece with care — polishing, soldering, finishing, and packaging it with the intention it deserves.
In some cases, we may have your piece in stock and ready to go at The CMD Shop in Asbury Park. When that happens, I’ll ship it within 3-4 business days so it lands on your doorstep even faster.
While most orders move through our studio within a week or two, certain pieces require a bit more time and love. These include:
We do our best to anticipate materials and order ahead, but occasionally, we need to restock or special-order materials based on what’s trending.
Once your jewelry is completed, we process shipments within 1–2 business days. Domestic delivery times vary depending on your chosen shipping method:
If you’re ordering during a big event like the Happy Hour Sale, Metal Madness or the upcoming Holiday Season, please allow a little extra time. Our studio is buzzing during those weeks, but we promise we’re always doing our best to get your order out as quickly as possible.
It’s never too early to start thinking about holiday gifts — especially for handcrafted jewelry. Every CMD piece is made with intention and designed to last for years, which makes it a meaningful gift for anyone on your list.
If you’re hoping to have a piece in hand by mid-December, we always recommend placing your order early (before or around Plaid Friday) to give us time to create, polish, and ship it with care.
We’re happy to help you choose the best shipping method or give an estimated ship date for your order. Give us a call or text at (415) 637-7762 or send us a message anytime to showroom@colleenmauerdesigns.com.
Each CMD piece is worth the wait — we promise. ✨If you have questions or feedback, please feel free to comment! We love hearing from you.
Thank you for shopping small,
Colleen

While I’m out here, I’ll also be opening a limited number of in-person designer appointments in San Francisco. These are perfect if you’ve been wanting to recycle diamonds, 14k gold, or sterling silver, or you’re interested in a custom or special-occasion piece! It’s also a great chance to meet if you can’t make it to one of the pop-ups but still want dedicated time together. [...]
The first Happy Hour Sale of the year officially begins today, and whether you’re a longtime collector or brand new to CMD, I wanted to take a moment to share what Happy Hour is all about, and why it’s become such a beloved tradition in our little corner of the jewelry world. The Happy Hour Sale has become a way for me to try new ideas, for you to [...]
CMD is on the road (again!) — and this time, I’m heading west for a good chunk of the winter. I’ll be living in San Francisco from January 31st through March 31st (pinch me!), with Migs and all the jewelry in tow. I already have a couple of February events on the calendar, with more in the works for March. There's nothing quite like seeing you in real life, stacking in real time, and helping you find your next piece of everyday armor [...]
