Magical Upcycled Earrings: Molten Star (in Mother-of-Pearl)

A little note of magic: As you can see, this pair is adorned with a genuine mother-of-pearl bead. Since mother-of-pearl is the inner lining of a shell, its shape, iridescence, and curves naturally vary from one creation to another. That’s part of its charm: even within a small collection, every Saturne has a truly one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. ✨

My earrings are a little bit of magic brought 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 jewelry with meaning.

Every piece of my jewelry includes upcycled elements.

All the beads I use are vintage, found here in Montreal thrift stores 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 chain pieces on my earrings are leftover chain from 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 something extra:

Every Atelier Saturne earring is an invitation to reveal the magical side that lies 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 up of 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 be deadstock (from old collections or pieces with imperfections (always mentioned when that’s the case)

– 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 with vintage charms posted during drops often sell quickly and disappear right away.)

There are always flat-lay and on-ear photos to help you picture how they’ll look.

If any are missing, it’s an error—feel free to contact me.

Everyday comfort

The earring posts are stainless steel (PVD Physical Vapor Deposition on stainless steel) for the gold finish—a high-quality finish that lasts and is light years beyond gold plating, 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 you have acidic skin. Tested and approved by more than 1,000 happy customers 🤍

Unique pieces, mixed and assembled by hand in Montreal, right here in our beautiful Quebec.

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

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