Celebrating Over a Decade of Artisan Jewelry
Eleven years ago, Lily Magaziner fulfilled a dream by opening a boutique jewelry studio. What began as a one-woman venture has flourished into May Martin, a thriving, woman-owned, handmade jewelry brand now with four locations and counting.
A Journey from Concept to Community
Founded in 2014, May Martin has transformed from a single storefront into a vibrant hub for handcrafted jewelry designed to last a lifetime. Each piece is made by hand at the company’s studio, with materials sourced from local suppliers. Famous for exquisite gold-filled designs, the brand is excited to introduce sterling silver pieces this year, maintaining the quality and craftsmanship that define its reputation for timeless, everyday jewelry.
Expanding Reach with New Locations
With two stores in Costa Mesa, one in Laguna Beach, and a newly opened location at River Street Marketplace, May Martin is more accessible than ever. The brand's pieces are also available through over 800 wholesale partners nationwide, giving fans of the brand a chance to experience this artisanal craftsmanship.
The Vision Behind the Jewelry
Lily’s creative journey began in Florence, Italy, where her passion for jewelry making ignited. Her background includes working with esteemed brands like Harley-Davidson and Tommy Bahama, as well as design collaborations for prominent retailers. The unique style of May Martin reflects a blend of European techniques and coastal California inspiration, resulting in pieces that not only shine but also tell compelling stories through their craftsmanship.
11 Years of Creativity and Community
"These 11 years have been a wild ride, but we're so proud of what we offer, and we're just getting started," said Lily Magaziner, CEO of May Martin. From custom engravings to mother-daughter bracelets, the brand has built a culture of gifting that resonates deeply with its customers.
Commitment to Quality
Aside from beautiful American-made jewelry offered at accessible prices, May Martin also provides lifelong repair services and custom designs. The brand's dedication to community and meticulous small-batch production ensures that every piece is handcrafted with love and intention.
The Future Looks Bright
With the newest Orange County store recently opened and an exciting Summer collection slated for release, May Martin looks forward to sustained growth while remaining true to its artisanal roots. The commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and community ensures that every piece resonates with a personal touch.
