I know how overwhelming it can feel to purchase a piece of jewelry for someone else. Will they like it? Does it suit them? Your head might be spinning, but I’m here to help.
When shopping for someone else, I recommend thinking about the following:
If you’re looking at all those pieces thinking to yourself, “I’m not sure which she’d prefer!”never fear. Try a different approach and choose a piece with symbolic meaning. For example, a 5-loop bangle for a 50th birthday or a4-loop necklace to represent each member of your family. Personalized touches are a special way to celebrate her with a shiny gift.
When all else fails, think about what kind of piece will become her next everyday favorite. Some of my most-loved, no-brainer pieces that appeal to a very wide variety of women include this necklace and these earrings.
It warms my heart when I am able to personally interact with customers, or when my staff shares a sweet story about how one of our pieces became an extension of the person buying it, or when someone is thrilled to have found the perfect gift.

At the start of 2023, I made a pact with myself to find a better way to unplug this year. Not just for me, but for the whole CMD team. Being such a small company and team (there’s only five of us!), one person being out can add pressure to the already heavy workload. I'll be [...]
