As Mother’s Day approaches, I find myself thinking less about picture-perfect bouquets or greeting card clichés — and more about the deeper, quieter forces that shape and support us.
Because the truth is, “mothering” can take many different forms.
It might look like a biological mom, yes. But it also looks like the friend whose always there and always picks up the phone when we need them most. The mentor who guides us to notice the strengths that we often overlook within ourselves. The sibling who quietly shows up, again and again. The community we choose — and the people who choose us back.
At CMD, we’re continually inspired by these everyday acts of care, support, and presence. And this year, the new Kith & Kin Collection was designed and crafted in their honor. Each design in this six-piece release is a tribute to the invisible threads that bind us — between generations, between chosen family, and between the different versions of ourselves.
These pieces aren't just for Mother’s Day. They’re for anyone who’s ever offered a steady hand, a word of wisdom, or a moment of calm in the middle of the storm. They’re meant to be worn as reminders of the people who help hold us together.
From the graceful linkwork of the Lore Earrings to the grounding elegance of the Mainstay Necklace, each design offers a subtle symbol of connection and care. Explore the full Kith & Kin Collection, or shop CMD’s curated Gifts for Mom Under $200 edit for thoughtful tokens that feel just right.
Whether you’re celebrating your mom, someone who’s like a mom, or honoring the mothering you’ve done for yourself this year — I see you. And I’m sending love your way.
We’re celebrating community and connection in person this weekend at a special Ring Bar Pop-Up event at The Phoenix in Georgetown!
The Phoenix is one of CMD’s longtime stockists and favorite small businesses. Sam, the incredible owner of The Phoenix, has championed independent designers like CMD for decades. CMD celebrates 20 years in business this year, and The Phoenix is turning 70! Together, we couldn’t imagine a better way to mark the moment than with you in real life.
If you’re local to the DC area or want to take a little jaunt, I’d love to see you. Come try on rings, create your perfect stack, and shop the full CMD collection at this most amazing venue.
Swing by, say hello, and find something special for yourself or someone you love!
From all of us at CMD, thanks for being part of our village. You make this work meaningful.
With gratitude,
Colleen

Plaid Friday is the 'shop small and local' alternative to Black Friday. At CMD, every piece is made by hand with intention, care, and a whole lot of heart. Choosing craftsmanship over convenience isn’t always the cheapest path, but it’s one we deeply believe in. Supporting small [...]
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 [...]
