Colleen herself is at the helm of the CMD ship, but many talented hands help keep it humming. The staff at the showroom, in the studio and far beyond are a vital part of the brand, and they’re some of our biggest fans. Frequently on the blog we’ll feature our extraordinary staff and share what CMD jewels they love the most.
Aja is an outstanding production assistant who has been with CMD since May. We love her bubbly personality, her flair for bright colors and her dedication to handmade craftsmanship. Her impeccable eye for fashion lends itself to her favorite piece, the stacked square densa rings. Declaring them “perfect for minimalists and maximalists alike,” Aja often rocks these mixed metal, atypically shaped rings. Since they’re both easy to wear with any ensemble and amazingly comfortable, she finds herself effortlessly stacking them on. After all, who wants to wear just one ring? The densa rings are social pieces that work well with others, so go for the edgy look and keep piling them on. Do you wear CMD stacked rings just like Aja? We’d love to see a picture in the comments below.

I’m thinking about the way jewelry becomes a part of us. How a single piece can carry a memory, a milestone, or a sense of power that’s uniquely our own. I'm thrilled to [...]
