If you’ve ever wanted to carve out time to meet one-on-one with me — whether to build your Dream Stack, reimagine heirloom stones, or explore Custom and Special Occasion design projects — now’s a fantastic time to do it!

This month, we're trying something new! For the first time, I'm available on two Saturdays this August for virtual and in-person appointments. I know weekends are when many of you find time to breathe and dream a little, and I want to meet you there! Truth be told, when it’s a beautiful Saturday afternoon, I love to enjoy part of the day on the beach or sitting by my pool. The beauty of my location is I’m super close to my house, the beach and downtown so it’s easy to take a little break from the heat and meet at my studio for some new bling! You can book a session with me on: Saturday, August 9th or Saturday, August 23rd anytime during my available hours 10am - 6pm (appointments only — spots are limited!). Please don’t visit Bond Street without an appointment as I might not be there! However, appointments can be made up to 2 hours in advance so you can book one last minute (if available).

Appointments are also perfect when you're ready to design a custom wedding band, an anniversary stack, or a meaningful piece using family stones. Maybe you’ve been holding on to a diamond or a few gold bands from someone special — together, we can turn them into something that honors them and feels like you.

Please note: I do respectfully require a $250 minimum purchase during these appointments, so be sure to book when you know you’re ready to add or start your CMD collection. If you’re not quite ready to buy but want to check out my space or make an exchange, please join me during my Open Hours on August 16th from 11am - 4pm!

For a little inspiration, I highly recommend reading my blog post about Becky’s Custom Wedding Stack Set with Heirloom Diamonds from late last year. Becky came to me with a vision — to breathe new life into her 25-year old wedding set. The set had a broken diamond setting and two of her bands were missing diamonds. She wanted something fresh, modern, and meaningful. Together, we designed a showstopping three-ring stack: two 3mm-wide 14k gold bands (one white, one yellow) set with a mix of her original diamonds and a few carefully sourced lab-grown stones, plus a bold 6mm centerpiece band showcasing her stunning 1.14-carat diamond. When Becky received her new stack, she said, “It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever owned.” Projects like this one are my favorite — transforming heirlooms into jewelry that feels fresh, wearable, and distinctly you.

Special Occasion pieces don’t have to be traditional either! Maybe you want to add flush-set diamonds to one of our classic square bands. Maybe you’re ready to upgrade to solid gold. Or maybe you’ve had your eye on a custom-width band like the one I recently made with a customer who was inspired by the chunky piece I wear nearly every day. Whatever your idea, let's bring it to life together.

And if a full-on consult isn’t what you’re after, please join me at The CMD Shop in Asbury Park on Saturday, August 16th during my Open Hours (11am – 4pm, no appointment needed). 

Whether we’re meeting virtually or in person, let’s build something beautiful.

 
With love,
Colleen
