Magical Upcycled Earrings: Miralys (Japanese Beads)

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: each pair of earrings is designed, assembled, and infused with intention in my little studio in Montreal’s Plateau neighborhood.

This is my way of creating unique jewelry that’s rich in meaning.

Every piece of my jewelry incorporates upcycled elements.

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

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 has a direct influence on the jewelry I create.

All the pearlized beads used in my creations since June 2025 come from Japan. The chain pieces on my earrings are offcuts from the chains used in 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 a variety of places:

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

– They may come from deadstock (from previous collections or pieces with imperfections (always noted when this is the case)

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

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

There are always flat-lay photos and photos of the earrings being worn to help you picture them on yourself.

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

Comfort for everyday wear

The earring backs are made of stainless steel (PVD Physical Vapor Deposition on stainless steel) for the gold-tone finish—a high-quality finish that stands the test of time and is worlds apart from gold plating, making them perfect even for sensitive ears.

No green marks, no surprises—just sturdy earrings that stay beautiful for a long time.

And yes, the gold-tone finish on the earring backs lasts, even if your skin is acidic. Tested and approved by more than 1,000 happy customers 🤍

One-of-a-kind pieces, mixed and hand-assembled in Montreal, here 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 feels like them.
