Lola Ade 14K Yellow Gold Box Chain Necklace Review

Priced from $375, the 14K Box Chain Necklace is a 14K yellow gold box chain that the listing calls a classic, dainty staple, and it belongs to Lola Ade's Luxe Collection. Two lengths are offered: 16 inches at $375 and 18 inches at $405. The listing says to allow 1-2 weeks for it to be made. It gives no chain width, weight or clasp type, so the amount of gold in the chain cannot be judged from the page.

Options and pricing

Length is the only option, across two variants: 16 inches at $375 or 18 inches at $405. The metal is fixed at 14K yellow gold, and the listing mentions no stone, pendant or other metal. It places the necklace in the Luxe Collection and asks buyers to allow 1-2 weeks for it to be made. The longer chain costs more, and the listing does not say how wide the box links are.

How it compares

Several necklaces listed with it are priced lower: the Herringbone Chain starts at $84.99 and the Regalia Chain Necklace is $90, against $375 here for 14K yellow gold. The Petite Diamond Bezel Necklace starts at $524.99 and adds a diamond, with carat weights from .05 to 1.00 and lengths of 16", 18" or 20".

Shipping, returns and warranty

Shipping: the Shipping & Returns page says US orders over $100 ship free and that fine jewelry, diamonds and engagement rings are handcrafted to order and usually fulfilled within 1 to 4 weeks, sent by UPS 2-day shipping with an adult signature required. The FAQ gives other figures, an estimated 4 to 6 weeks for custom rings and generally 6 to 8 weeks of production from payment, and says the checkout page shows an estimate, so confirm the date there. Fine jewelry ships only within the United States according to the FAQ; international orders are limited to the Demi-Fine Collection. This product page says: "Please allow 1-2 weeks for it to be made." Returns: the Shipping & Returns page says the store cannot accept returns on these limited, handmade or made-to-order items; if an item arrives damaged or defective, contact the store within 14 days of delivery for an exchange or repair of the same item, which must be in its original packaging with no sign of wear. The FAQ says all fine jewelry sales are final and that returns, refunds and exchanges are not accepted, with a repair offered for faulty items, and the sales terms add that sale items cannot be returned or exchanged. The refund policy page grants a 14-day cooling-off right to orders shipped into the European Union. This product page also says: "No refunds, exchanges, or cancellations on fine jewelry orders." Warranty: the FAQ says the store guarantees its fine jewelry against manufacturing defects at the time of delivery for life and repairs a confirmed defect at no cost, while damage from wear and tear or trauma is quoted before any work. Excluded examples include scratching, loss of center stones, product loss or theft, discoloration from chemicals or make-up and prongs that wear down over time. Discount code: the sales terms say codes must be entered at checkout, only one code can be used per order and promotions exclude gift cards and custom orders unless stated otherwise; some products can also be excluded, so check that the FACESTORE code takes 10% off this item before you pay.

Before you buy

Lola Ade says it is a Black woman-owned fine jewelry brand based in Los Angeles that sells online only, founded by Pamela Adewoyin James, whom its About page calls a GIA-certified diamond professional and practicing attorney. The page says she has handcrafted jewelry since 2010 and launched an engagement ring collection in 2024. A July 2026 SHEEN Magazine interview tells a similar story, but it is a profile, not a product test, and searches on 20 October 2026 found no Trustpilot, BBB or Reddit page for the store. The store's own reviews page shows 40 reviews, 38 of them five-star and 2 four-star; that widget is the store's display and was not verified. Its giving program ("a portion of every fine jewelry purchase" supports clean water access in Africa, and a portion of each engagement ring sale per its community page) names no amount. There is no showroom, so you cannot see a piece in person, and the pages disagree on production time and on whether a damaged item gets an exchange or only a repair; ask for the estimate and the remedy in writing before you order.
