Magical Upcycled Earrings: Écorlia (Mother-of-Pearl from Japan)

My earrings are a little piece of magic that I bring back to life right here in Montreal, Quebec.

At Atelier Saturne, nothing is left to chance: every pair of earrings is thoughtfully designed, assembled, and infused with intention in my little studio in Montreal’s Plateau neighborhood.

This is my way of creating unique, meaningful jewelry.

Every piece of my jewelry incorporates upcycled elements.

All the beads I use are vintage, found in thrift stores here in Montreal or on trips I take specifically to inspire my creative work.

To date, Atelier Saturne has taken me to several places to create unique collections: Salem, New Orleans, Serbia, Romania, Mexico, Peru, the south of France and Japan.

Each place directly influences the jewelry I create.

All the pearlescent beads used in my creations since June 2025 come from Japan. Any short lengths of chain on my earrings are offcuts from the chains used for my necklaces.

If you’re curious to see behind the scenes, videos will be available on my YouTube channel starting in May 2026.

And then there’s that little extra something:

Every Atelier Saturne earring is an invitation to reveal the magical side within you.

What makes my earrings truly special:

A magical design.

Every pair has that little “je ne sais quoi” that makes it unique.

Most of my earrings are made with beads and charms, often with a slight asymmetry that gives them their character.

The charms come from various places:

– They may be vintage, and very often one of a kind

– They may come from deadstock (from past collections or pieces with imperfections (always noted when applicable)

– Sometimes there are also a few new charms, when I can’t find what I’m looking for or to meet specific requests. Feel free to write to me if you have any questions 🤍

If you don’t see a style in the online shop, it simply means it has sold. I never leave sold-out product listings online. (One-of-a-kind styles featuring vintage charms, posted during product drops, often sell quickly and disappear just as fast.)

There are always flat-lay and on-model photos to help you picture what they’ll look like.

If any are missing, it’s a mistake—feel free to contact me.

Comfort for everyday wear

The earring posts are stainless steel (PVD Physical Vapor Deposition on stainless steel) for the gold finish—a high-quality finish that stands the test of time and is light-years ahead of gold plating, making them perfect even for sensitive ears.

No green marks, no surprises: just sturdy, beautiful earrings that last.

And yes, the gold finish on the posts stays put, even if your skin is acidic. Tested and approved by over 1,000 happy customers 🤍

One-of-a-kind pieces, mixed and assembled by hand in Montreal, in our beautiful Quebec.

I make every pair myself in my magical studio. The designs come straight from my imagination.

No two pairs are exactly alike. And that’s what I love: knowing that everyone leaves with a piece of jewelry that truly reflects them.
