Magical Upcycled Earrings: Angélique (Japanese Pearl)

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 imbued 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 creations.

So far, 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 pearlized 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 magic within you.

What makes my earrings truly special:

A magical design.

Each 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 a variety of places:

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

– They may come from deadstock (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 a particular request. Don’t hesitate to write to me if you have any questions 🤍

If you can’t find 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 don’t hesitate 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 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-tone finish on the earring backs stays put, even if your skin is acidic. Tested and approved by over 1,000 happy customers 🤍

Unique pieces, mixed and hand-assembled in Montreal, in our beautiful Quebec.

I create 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 each person leaves with a piece of jewelry that truly reflects them.
