Early Inspiration
At the age of 13, Maor began making and selling jewelry in his seaside village hometown , a scenery that gave him a lifelong connection with the ocean and nature. A devoted surfer, Maor took off In his early twenties for a yearlong surf sabbatical around the world.
“Throughout that journey I carried a small box of wire, stones and charms so that I could create bracelets for the kindred spirits I encountered on my path.“
Landing in Los Angeles at the the end of his trip, Maor quickly realized that California was home.
“One day, after I’d settled in LA, I rediscovered the jewelry box that I’d carried around the world. ”
Rekindling his passion for craftsmanship and creation, Maor was inspired to make jewels for friends around LA. Within a few years, he opened a flagship showroom, M.Cohen, in Los Angeles.
