Our verdict

Bow-shaped studs with a dangling cubic zirconia in gold vermeil on 925 sterling silver, for someone who likes the motif and wants one clearly priced option at $82. Look elsewhere if you need measurements, a weight or a stated stone size before buying, or want a choice of metals. The main caveat is how little the listing specifies, so confirm the size and the type of back with the store first.

Best for

Why 3.4/5: Nothing on the page earns extra credit; held back by almost no specifications on the page and the store's no-returns, no-refunds policy (a damaged or defective item gets an exchange or repair).

The Colette Bow Studs pair a sculpted bow shape with a dangling baguette-cut cubic zirconia, and the listing says they are handcrafted in 925 sterling silver with an 18K gold vermeil finish. The price is $82 for a single variant, so there is no metal, size or stone to pick. The page gives no dimensions, weight, stone size or back type, which leaves the size of the bow to be confirmed with the store before ordering.

Options and pricing

One variant is listed, at $82, and nothing is offered to choose: no metal, size, finish or stone alternatives. What the text does state is the build: 925 sterling silver with an 18K gold vermeil finish, sculpted bows and a baguette-cut cubic zirconia that dangles. The headline says CZ drops in the plural, while the body text describes a single dangling stone, and neither gives a stone size or count.

How it compares

Among Lola Ade's other earrings, the Flora Studs are also studs and cost $68 against $82 here, while the Cascada Hoops are $85 and the Aurelia Hoops are $55.99. By name, those two are hoops rather than studs. The sibling entries show a name and a price but no spec line, so price and shape are the only differences visible here.

Shipping, returns and warranty

Shipping: the Shipping & Returns page says US orders over $100 ship free and that Demi-Fine Collection orders are usually mailed by USPS First Class within 5 to 7 business days of purchase, excluding holidays, unless the product page says otherwise (USPS Priority Mail is available for a faster carrier service but does not shorten processing). International shipping is offered for the Demi-Fine Collection to select countries by USPS International, and the buyer is responsible for import taxes and duties. 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 describes a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects for the store's fine jewelry; it does not say whether this demi-fine piece is covered, so ask the store before relying on it. 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 whether a damaged item gets an exchange or only a repair; ask for the remedy in writing before you order.

What we liked

  • The listing names its materials: 925 sterling silver with an 18K gold vermeil finish
  • The stone is identified as a baguette-cut cubic zirconia, so its type and cut are not left vague
  • A single price of $82 with no options to sort through
  • The bows are described as sculpted, with a dangling stone that adds a hanging element

Worth noting

  • No dimensions, weight or stone size are given anywhere on the listing
  • The listing does not say what kind of back the studs use
  • The headline says CZ drops while the text describes one dangling stone, so the stone count is unclear
  • Only one variant exists, with no choice of size or finish

What we couldn’t verify

  • No dimensions, weight, stone size or back type are given for these studs.
  • The headline says CZ drops (plural) while the body text describes 'a dangling baguette-cut cubic zirconia', so the number of stones is unclear.
  • 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 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.
