We want your CMD jewelry to stay beautiful and sparkly for years to come. After many requests, we put together a few jewelry care tips that we'll be sharing in the coming weeks. In this new series, let's first talk polishing.
We recommend you clean your CMD jewelry periodically, but not necessarily on a daily basis. Our long-lasting polishing cloths are likely all you need for your regular care routine. They're much gentler and less corrosive on your jewelry than liquid tarnish remover, and you can use them over and over again. The cloths are infused with special micro-abrasives and a cleansing agent that work together to clean pieces back to their brilliant original shine. I suggest using a polishing cloth once a month or so, depending on how often you wear the piece. Keep in mind, everyday use is not advised as the slightly abrasive cloth may wear down the metal over time. Fun tidbit: The more you wear the jewelry, the less likely it is to tarnish. The oils of your skin will actually protect the surface of the piece.
It is perfectly normal for the cloth to appear black or "dirty" even when used on sterling silver, gold-fill or 14k solid gold. You can use a cloth until it's completely dark in color and softer to the touch. Our production team estimates that our high traffic cloths in the studio get replaced every 50-75 cleanings.
You can use our cloths on all finished jewelry. Please DO NOT use the cloth on oxidized (blackened) silver as it will remove the darkened patina and restore your piece back to sterling silver.

CMD’s production studio is on the move… but we’re not going very far! Later this month, we’re moving into a brighter and slightly larger space just next door to our current studio in Trumansburg, New York (or as the locals lovingly call it, “T-Burg”). While our Upstate NY studio isn’t open to the public, it’s where all the real magic happens. Every single piece is [...]
As Mother’s Day approaches, I find myself thinking less about picture-perfect bouquets or greeting card clichés — and more about the deeper, quieter forces that shape and support us. Because the truth is, “mothering” can take many different forms. It might look like a biological mom, yes. But it also looks like the friend who always picks up the phone [...]
