Opalescent Earrings by Julie Thévenot – Handmade Light, Sculpted Emotion
Step into the ethereal with opalescent earrings by Julie Thévenot — luminous jewelry pieces that blur the line between light, pigment, and movement. Handmade in Brooklyn, New York, and infused with the artistic sensibility of a designer trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, these earrings glow with quiet strength and poetic presence.
What Are Opalescent Earrings?
Opalescent earrings are defined by their delicate play of color — a shimmer that shifts between soft pastels and translucent tones, echoing the natural beauty of opal stone. At Julie Thévenot, opalescence is reimagined through experimental resins, hand-poured pigments, and sculptural forms, resulting in earrings that change with the light and feel alive on the skin.
Opalescent, But Never Ordinary
These aren’t just shiny earrings — they are expressions of mood and motion. With soft lavender flashes, milky turquoise swirls, or hints of gold suspended in clear resin, each pair of opalescent earrings evokes an atmosphere. Their color shift is never artificial: it’s a reflection of emotion, intention, and process.
Julie Thévenot – From Beaux-Arts to Brooklyn
With a background in sculpture and fine art, Julie brings her multidisciplinary training to every piece she makes. Her opalescent earrings are crafted using a hands-on, research-driven process that embraces imperfection and celebrates spontaneity. No molds, no mass production — just raw materials, emotion, and technique shaped into wearable art.

Part of a Luminous Universe
Julie’s opalescent earrings live within a broader world of color-driven design. Pair them with her glass earrings for a minimalist-glow aesthetic, or layer them with iridescent earrings and rainbow earrings for a full-spectrum statement. If you’re seeking something bolder, her statement earrings and spiral earrings offer sculptural contrasts to opalescent softness.
Best-Selling Designs
Our Opal Enigma Earrings and Soft Aura Drops are among the most loved pieces in the studio — sculpted by hand, each earring has its own color story. Some glow with foggy blues and lilac pinks, others appear almost translucent under daylight, like a droplet of frozen iridescence.
How to Style Opalescent Earrings
Opalescent earrings work beautifully with soft neutrals, earthy linens, or even metallic fabrics. They can be worn as an everyday touch of shimmer or dressed up with bold eye makeup or a structured silhouette. For a complete look, explore our glass rings and glass cuff handcrafted bracelet, both designed to echo the fluidity of light and transparency.
Jewelry With Meaning, Not Mass Production
Every pair of earrings is made in Julie’s Brooklyn studio in small batches. With a strong commitment to ethical production, each piece is designed to last — physically and emotionally. These earrings are not seasonal trends — they are intimate objects, made to reflect who you are today and who you might become tomorrow.
