Plaid Friday is a “Shop Local” alternative to Black Friday that started in Oakland, California in 2009. It’s such a fulfilling alternative to the big box store “Black Friday” consumer frenzy. This year, CMD is celebrating BIG by offering tiered discounts based on order size. The best part is…
If you’ve had your eye on any Special Occasion pieces, now is the time to splurge! We rarely (if ever) discount these pieces, so go for the gold (and diamonds)!

25% off orders $500 - $999 (code SMALLBIZ25)
30% off all orders over $1,000 (code SMALLBIZ30)

The holidays are a time for giving, and what better way to give back than by supporting small, local businesses? When you shop with CMD, you're not just buying jewelry—you're investing in a community. Small businesses like ours are the heart of local economies. We thoughtfully design CMD jewelry in Asbury Park and handcraft each piece to order in our Upstate New York production studio. Every dollar you spend helps keep our creative studio running, supports our team of female artisans, and contributes to the vibrant, unique businesses that make your community special.
When you choose small this season, you're not just crossing off items on your shopping list — you're fueling dreams, sustaining local jobs, and helping to create a more personalized and meaningful shopping experience. You’re also helping to build a future where creativity, craftsmanship, and individuality thrive. It’s more than a transaction; it’s an investment in something you can feel good about.
So, whether you're treating yourself or gifting a loved one, when you shop small, know that you’re making a big difference. You’re putting your money into businesses that truly care, businesses that invest back into the community, and businesses that are here to stay This year, more than ever…we encourage you to support local, independent businesses.
Thank you for supporting CMD and so many other small businesses during this gifting season! Together, we can make this holiday shopping season a win for everyone.

We're so grateful for your support this holiday season and always. Whether you’re wearing CMD, gifting it, name-dropping us or sharing our Instagram page with friends and family, it makes all the difference to us. Know that you're supporting a woman-owned and operated small business and all of us at CMD thank you!
Happy Shopping,
Colleen

Summer is almost here (let’s goooo!), the air is warmer and we’re all pulling out the lighter, flirtier clothing… a perfect canvas for donning your next CMD piece. Today, we’re kicking off an Extended Memorial Day Weekend Sale by offering tiered discounts ($25 - $125!) based on your order total. Here's how it works [...]
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 [...]
