Mejuri Organic Dôme Pebble Earrings
$22865% less · 6/10 match
18k gold vermeil over recycled sterling silver from an established demi-fine brand; ~25.4mm sculptural drop. A looser silhouette match — the pebble/dome shape is rounder and more bulbous than Bottega's defined teardrop point. Marketed as its own design, not a copy.

- ✓ Reputable demi-fine brand with transparent materials
- ✓ Sculptural organic form reads as designer, not costume
