Magical Upcycled Earrings: Velvet of Calm (Japanese Pearl)

My earrings are a little piece 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 small Plateau studio in Montreal.

This is my way of creating unique, meaningful jewelry.

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 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 segments on my earrings are leftover pieces 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 that lies within you.

What makes my earrings truly special:

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 touch of asymmetry that gives them their character.

The charms come from several places:

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

– They may come from deadstock (old 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 accommodate certain 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 out. I never leave sold-out product listings online. (One-of-a-kind styles 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.

If any are missing, it’s a mistake—please don’t hesitate to contact me.

 Comfort for everyday wear

The earring backs are stainless steel (PVD Physical Vapor Deposition on stainless steel) for the gold-tone finish—a high-quality coating that stands the test of time and is miles above the quality 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 🤍

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 feels like them.
