Everyday Elegance, Handcrafted with Heart

At WKND, we look for makers who share our belief that beauty should be both intentional and accessible. That’s why we’re proud to carry pieces from May Martin, a California-based jewelry line built on craftsmanship, warmth, and enduring design.

Founded in 2014 in southern California, May Martin began as a single shop in Costa Mesa and has since grown into a small community of artisans. Lily's (the founder) background is as impressive as it is inspiring. She studied design in Florence, Italy, worked for global brands, and eventually brought her own vision to life with May Martin: jewelry that’s affordable without compromising on quality. Each piece is handcrafted with care, often using premium natural gemstones or gold-filled materials that last through daily wear.

What makes their pieces so special is this balance—delicate, elegant designs that feel like heirlooms, offered at a price point that makes them easy to love and layer. Plus, the brand backs its jewelry with lifetime repair services, which feels right at home in our commitment to supporting conscious purchases and maxing out the wearable life of the pieces you already have.

Whether it's a pair of gold-plated earrings to dress up a casual look or complement a sleek evening outfit, or a timeless heart chain bracelet for everyday wear, we know you'll reach for these pieces again and again.

For us, May Martin isn’t just another jewelry line. It’s about sharing a philosophy that anything you put on your body should feel special but not out of reach, well-made but not overly precious. Everyday elegance is exactly what May Martin does best, and we’re excited to bring it into our community here at WKND.
