Eleven years ago, designer Lily Magaziner opened the doors to a boutique jewelry studio in Costa Mesa, Calif. What began as a one-woman venture has since flourished into May Martin, a thriving, woman-owned, handmade jewelry brand with four locations across Orange County, and more to come.
Founded in 2014, May Martin has grown from a single brick-and-mortar storefront into a vibrant creative hub for handcrafted jewelry, built to last a lifetime. Every piece is thoughtfully designed and made by hand in the company's Costa Mesa studio, with materials sourced and sampled in the United States. Known and loved for its gold-filled designs, May Martin is expanding the line's sterling silver offerings this year, committing to the craftsmanship and quality that has helped define the brand's reputation for accessible timeless, everyday jewelry.
With two stores in Costa Mesa, one in Laguna Beach, and a newly opened fourth location at River Street Marketplace in San Juan Capistrano, May Martin pieces are also available through more than 800 wholesale partners nationwide.
Magaziner began her creative journey in Florence, Italy, where she fell in love with the art of jewelry making. Her career spans working with global brands, including Harley-Davidson, Tommy Bahama, and private label designs with QVC, and HSN. Today, her distinctive style-a fusion of European technique and California coastal inspiration-is reflected in every May Martin piece. With a strong eye for detail and a dedication to using premium, thoughtfully selected materials, (many of which are sourced in the United States), Magaziner has built a brand that emphasizes beauty, longevity, and accessibility.
“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. “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.”
In addition to offering quality American-made jewelry at approachable prices, May Martin is also proud to offer customers lifelong repair services, custom designs, and exceptional customer care. The brand's continued success is rooted in its commitment to community, small-batch production, and dedication to handcrafting every piece with love and intention.
With its newest OC location recently opened, and its 2025 Summer collection coming out in June, May Martin is poised for continued growth while staying true to its artisan roots.
