The holiday countdown — it’s happening! If you’re planning to place an online order this season, here’s your friendly nudge: our online shipping cut-off date is this Wednesday, December 10th for Priority Mail delivery. Note: be sure to choose PRIORITY shipping at checkout.
Because every CMD piece is handcrafted with care in our Upstate NY studio, my team needs plenty of time to finish, polish, and mail your gifts so they arrive in time to spread that holiday sparkle. After the 10th, we highly recommend ordering with EXPRESS SHIPPING so your package arrives just in time. If you need a specific ring size, please send me an email and I can let you know what I have in stock in your desired size: showroom@colleenmauerdesigns.com. I’m also putting together a Ready-to-Ship Collection so stay tuned for that later this week!
Maybe you’ve been eyeing something extra special for yourself (yes, stuffing your own stocking is highly encouraged) or someone you absolutely adore. Well, now’s your moment to shop intentionally and support our small-but-mighty studio. My production team is crushing it — you might as well call them the CMD Elves by now!
Here’s where you can find me this weekend:
And later this month:
If you’re local, I’d love to welcome you into my design studio and shop. I love the hustle and bustle of the holidays and get an absolute kick out of helping to spread some magic! There’s something so special about finding the perfect piece when you can feel the weight, see the shine, and try on everything in sight. If you’re not finding a time that works, send me an email and I can do my best to accommodate you: showroom@colleenmauerdesigns.com.
Appointments are perfect if you’d like one-on-one time with me — whether that’s to build a Dream Stack, reimagine heirloom stones into a Special Occasion piece. I live for these projects, they feel very sacred to me!
I respectfully require a $250 minimum purchase during appointment sessions. Appointments are ideal as I can give you my full attention during one of the busiest times of the year. Remember, you can always bring a friend (or two) and I always keep a little festive bubbly in the fridge… just in case!
You can book a session — virtual or in-person — right here:
Here’s to a beautiful holiday season ahead, chock full of surprises. Thank you for choosing handmade and for shopping intentionally (everyday). We appreciate you more than you may know!
Sending light and gratitude,
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 [...]
