"Colleen's designs are classic with a little bit of a twist"

“I have a square stack ring from Colleen Mauer Designs that I adore and wear every day. The square uber comfortable and gives a bit of edge on my hands.Recently I purchased a pair of earrings that I get so many compliments on. They are a two interlocking ovals in different metals. They are a classic design with a little bit of a twist. I love visiting the showroom on Valencia street so I can dream about my next ring stack (or maybe it will be a new pair of earrings). Always fun to see what new designs Colleen has cooked up.” - Kathy of San Francisco

"Colleen captures the essence of being an SF girl. Simple yet elegant and creative."

“My absolute favorite local jewelry designer. Colleen captures the essence of being a SF girl. Simple yet elegant & creative. I never take off my small gold circle necklace. Her jewelry always makes me feel extra. Mixed metals are her specialty & she creates stunning , organic shapes . You always feel welcome in her light filled space & she is happy to make adjustments or polish your jewels. I can't count how many "Colleen's" I've collected over the years. Perfect gift for someone you really care for. Or yourself.” - Eileen of San Francisco

“I love Colleen's creative mix of metals, shapes, and textures which makes for great variety in day-to-day wear.”

“I first learned about Colleen Mauer's beautiful jewelry from my daughter-in-law who lives in the Bay Area. She was wearing the square stacked rings in different combinations and I knew I needed some of my own! Not living in the area, I shopped through the website and Colleen was so helpful with long-distance sizing suggestions. I love Colleen's creative mix of metals, shapes, and textures which makes for great variety in day-to-day wear. I recently had the pleasure of visiting her shop in San Francisco, which is a lovely light-filled space, perfect for trying on jewelry! Dani was so helpful with suggestions and I am wearing my beautiful new necklace as I write this. Many thanks to Colleen (and my daughter-in-law!) for these go to pieces!" - Amy of Rhode Island

“Great local designer and local success story. Love CMD!”

“Welcoming boutique, great staff, amazing jewelry. Love my weddings band but love my husband's even more as it's thicker - I think I'll have to get a second like his! I wear my necklaces, bracelets, and rings daily for any occasion and always get a compliment. Great local designer and local success story. Love CMD!” - Amy of San Francisco

“I actually mostly only find myself wearing Colleen's jewelry in lieu of anything else...”

“I recently added another ring stack to my collection and I'm in love. I wear my rings everyday (it's my armor :) ) and switch up earrings, bangles, and necklaces depending on the occasion. I actually mostly only find myself wearing Colleen's jewelry in lieu of anything else as I can pair with a simple white tee and jeans, dress up a more professional look, or add a statement piece to a cocktail dress. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the designer, Colleen, is often in the showroom - an extra treat to get to meet her!” - Lisa of Oakland

“I get stopped and asked about my CMD's ALL THE TIME. It's extremely unique and feels so customizable.”

“I get stopped and asked about my CMD's ALL THE TIME. It's extremely unique and feels so customizable. It's also great for literally any occasion - can be dressed up to wear to a fancy event or down to wear with jeans and a t-shirt. Colleen herself is one of the sweetest people I know and seems to make every customer that comes in the door feel like a friend. Her jewelry makes a fabulous gift, but be prepared that it's hard to walk out of there with only things for someone else... you'll want to treat yourself too!" - Kate of San Francisco
