Celebrating 11 Years of May Martin Jewelry in California
May Martin Jewelry, a hallmark of handcrafted design, has reached an exciting milestone by celebrating its 11th anniversary this year. Founded by the talented designer Lily Magaziner, the brand continues to thrive, opening its fourth store in Orange County, California. This expansion marks not just growth in physical presence but also in the brand's commitment to creating exquisite jewelry that tells a story.
The Journey of May Martin
Eleven years ago, Lily Magaziner opened her first boutique jewelry studio in Costa Mesa, California, setting the foundation for what would become a renowned brand. What began as a modest one-woman operation has blossomed into a vibrant community of artisans dedicated to crafting jewelry that combines timeless beauty and innovative design. Every piece is handcrafted in their Costa Mesa studio, utilizing materials sourced and sampled from the United States, ensuring exceptional quality.
Artistic Vision and Craftsmanship
Lily's journey began in Florence, Italy, where she developed a passion for jewelry making. Since then, she has collaborated with various global brands and developed a unique style that reflects her European training alongside California’s coastal influences. This blend is showcased in each May Martin piece, where meticulous attention to detail meets a commitment to excellence.
This year, the brand is excited to expand its offerings, particularly with its sterling silver collection, in addition to their signature gold-filled designs. This expansion exemplifies May Martin’s belief in accessible luxury, emphasizing elegant everyday jewelry that doesn’t compromise on quality.
Celebration of Community and Connection
May Martin's growth is a testament to its strong community engagement and commitment to artisan craftsmanship. The brand proudly participates in over 800 wholesale partnerships across the country, making its handcrafted pieces accessible to customers in various locations. Additionally, with each purchase comes a promise of lifelong repair services and custom design offerings, reflecting the brand’s dedication to customer care.
Lily Magaziner remarked, “These 11 years have been a wild ride, but we’re so proud of what we offer, and we’re just getting started. Women complete their look and their gifting with us. From custom engravings to welded mother-daughter bracelets and the perfect greeting card, gifting is our love language.”
New Horizons Ahead
The opening of their newest location at River Street Marketplace in San Juan Capistrano is a significant step forward for May Martin. As they prepare to launch their Summer collection in June 2025, the brand remains focused on growth while remaining true to its artisan roots. Each piece, handcrafted with love and intention, is designed to last a lifetime.
May Martin’s philosophy is that everyone deserves beautiful, handmade jewelry that resonates with their style. Established in 2014, the brand has transformed from a single storefront into a collective of skilled artisans devoted to the art of jewelry making. With a fourth store now operational and plans for more on the horizon, May Martin aims to continue delivering high-quality American-made products, complemented by exceptional customer service.
