If you’ve shopped our Metal Madness Sale, you may have noticed how quickly those One-of-a-Kind (OOAK) pieces have flown off our benches. This year was no different — our OOAK styles are mostly sold out across every category. And honestly? I’m still riding high from all the support we continue to receive. Watching you all snag a few of these special, soulful styles has my team and I feeling extra inspired… This is our way of keeping things a little scrappy. Let me tell you more —
Over the course of 2024, the cost of gold surged approximately 30% and so far in 2025, it’s up another 23%... I’ll let you do the math (good Lordy). It’s enough to either make me go into a ferocious panic or alternatively… to think extra creatively.
To boot, the new tariffs are expected to really affect the cost of other important components of our designs like diamonds and the pre-fabricated parts such as clasps and chains. While we are already very mindful of our materials costs, we have really buttoned things up and have gotten even more intentional about how we use every last bit of metal in our Upstate NY studio. No piece left behind. No scrap too small. We’re challenging ourselves creatively to design smarter, waste less, and lean into the magic that happens when you work with what’s on hand.
All those tiny offcuts and leftover bits? They’re becoming One-of-a-Kind creations that you’ll see sprinkled throughout the year. Think our signature CMD styles, but reimagined through a resourceful (and surprisingly luxe) lens. Unexpected shapes. Limited metals. Approachable pricing. And that same OOAK energy we all love. In my experience, I find that during really difficult times is when we are forced to think outside of the box to stay afloat. Metal prices might surge but our creativity is at an all time high, that’s for certain.
We’re not saving this magic for Metal Madness anymore — you’ll want to keep an eye on our drops year-round. (Trust us.)
We’re cooking up something extra special for the next drop. Think meaningful, made-for-you designs that are perfect for celebrating someone you love… or yourself! That’s all we’re saying for now…just know you’ll want to stay tuned!
Stay scrappy. And thanks for continuing to support CMD and helping to make our most resourceful era our most inspired yet.

The studio lights are back on, the torches are warm, and there’s that familiar hum in the air again. After a much-needed winter break, The CMD Team is officially back in the studio — rested, recharged, and ready to dive into a brand new year. If you’ve been waiting on a made-to-order piece, I’m happy to report that production officially resumed this week. Orders are flowing, benches are [...]
As the year comes to a close, I’ve been sitting with a deep sense of gratitude and reflection. 2025 was a full year — creatively, emotionally, and energetically. It stretched me, grounded me, challenged me, and ultimately reminded me why I chose this path all those years ago. Here’s a look back at the year [...]
As we wrap up another busy, beautiful holiday season, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve shopped with us this year, shared our work with a friend, or simply followed along, your support means more than you know. Starting today, most of The CMD Team will be stepping away for a much needed break [...]

Hi Deb, Yes, let’s definitely talk… I will send you an email! For all custom work, I generally like to do a complimentary 15 minute phone consult to discuss the project and we can go from there. :)
