Our verdict
A flat 4mm herringbone chain in 14kt yellow gold for a buyer who wants a named lobster clasp and a choice between two lengths. Look elsewhere if you want other gold colors, a longer length or a stated weight. The main caveat is that a plain chain is listed at $2,785 for 16" and $3,155 for 18" with no weight given on the page.
- Best for
- Someone who wants a flat 4mm herringbone chain in yellow gold with a lobster clasp and a choice of two lengths.
- Skip if
- You want other gold colors, a length beyond 18" or a stated weight.
Why 3.5/5: Nothing on the page earns extra credit; held back by the store's no-returns, no-refunds policy (a damaged or defective item gets an exchange or repair).
The 14K Herringbone Necklace is a flat chain of smooth 4mm links finished with a lobster clasp, according to the listing. It comes in one metal, 14kt yellow gold, and two lengths: 16" at $2,785 and 18" at $3,155. That makes it a two-variant listing with the price set entirely by length, and the listing asks buyers to allow 1-2 weeks for the chain to be made.

Options and pricing
Only the length can be chosen. The metal is fixed at 14kt yellow gold, so the two variants are 16" at $2,785 and 18" at $3,155. The width is 4mm and the clasp is a lobster clasp. There are no other gold colors, no pendant and no stone on offer, and the listing does not give a weight for either length.
How it compares
The 14K Paper Clip Necklace shares the 4mm width and starts lower, at $2,445, with 16", 18", 20" and 24" lengths in rose, white or yellow gold, while this herringbone is yellow gold only. Two stone necklaces sit below this chain's $2,785 starting price: the Yellow Pear Lab-Grown Diamond Bezel Necklace at $1,495 and the Green Emerald Lab-Grown Diamond Bezel Necklace at $1,425.
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. 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.
What we liked
- The clasp is named (lobster) and the width is given (4mm).
- Both lengths are priced on the page: $2,785 for 16" and $3,155 for 18".
- The listing describes the links as smooth and flat, and the metal as 14K gold, with 14kt yellow gold on the variants.
- The listing gives a making time (1-2 weeks) for this chain.
Worth noting
- Only one metal, 14kt yellow gold, and two lengths are offered.
- No weight is listed, so the price cannot be tied to an amount of gold.
- The longer 18" length costs $3,155 against $2,785 for 16".
Questions before you buy
What lengths and prices are listed?
Two: 16" at $2,785 and 18" at $3,155, both in 14kt yellow gold.
What does the listing say about the chain itself?
It describes a 14K gold herringbone chain with smooth 4mm links that lie flat, finished with a lobster clasp. No weight is given.
Can other metals be chosen?
No. The only metal option is 14kt yellow gold.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
No. The Shipping & Returns page says the store cannot accept returns on its handmade, limited or made-to-order items, and the FAQ says all fine jewelry sales are final with no returns, refunds or exchanges. If an item arrives damaged or defective, contact the store within 14 days of delivery for an exchange or repair.
How long does a made-to-order piece take?
The pages differ. Shipping & Returns says fine jewelry is usually fulfilled within 1 to 4 weeks; the FAQ says an estimated 4 to 6 weeks for custom rings and generally 6 to 8 weeks of production from payment, with an estimate on the checkout page. Ask the store for a date in writing.
Is financing available?
The FAQ says financing is available through Shop Pay and tells buyers to contact Shop Pay for details; it lists no terms or rates, so check them at checkout.

What we couldn’t verify
- The listing gives no weight for either length, so the amount of gold behind the price is not stated.

- Independent testing of this piece: none found; the only outside coverage located is an interview-style profile of the founder (SHEEN Magazine, July 2026).
- The store's pages disagree on production time (1 to 4 weeks, 4 to 6 weeks, 6 to 8 weeks) and on exchange versus repair for a damaged item.
- The store's 40-review widget and its clean-water giving claim are its own statements and were not verified.
- Whether the FACESTORE code applies to this item was not tested; the sales terms exclude custom orders and some products.
