It's a BLACK + GOLD October

Fall is here with crisp mornings and rich jewel-toned leaves. BLACK + GOLD is edgy, modern... and so incredibly perfect for October.

Those who know me know that mixing metals is one of my signature aesthetics. I love GRADIENT, but I wanted something even bolder. While designing the collection, I practically squealed when I first saw the palette of matte black paired with shiny gold. It's a striking combo and a total head-turner. To achieve the look, we purposefully oxidize sterling silver in our studio to create the gorgeously distinctive surface treatment that you see in so many CMD designs.
