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

There’s a conversation we’ve been having more and more often lately at CMD. It usually starts with someone asking about solid gold. Sometimes it’s because they’re marking something important: an engagement, a milestone birthday, a push present, an anniversary [...]
We’re streamlining the CMD collection to make room for more custom work and new designs, and that means saying goodbye to some beloved earring styles. For a limited time, we’re offering discounts on select pieces that are being discontinued. This is the last chance to own them [...]
I wish more divorced women knew that redesigning and reconstructing their original wedding bands would make them feel like a powerhouse. Lorie is one of my clients who already knows the power of reclaiming her story through jewelry, and this is her reconstruction story! The pieces that carry our histories are rarely [...]
