Our verdict

A plain Cuban chain anklet for someone who wants a single-price piece to layer or to pair with the matching bracelet and necklace, and who accepts that the page gives no chain width or weight. Look elsewhere if you need a stated minimum length or any stone detail. The main caveat is that the only measurement is an upper limit of approximately 10 inches, so check that range against your ankle before you order.

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).

Priced at $46.99 as a single variant, the Cuban Chain Anklet is described as thick 18K gold layered over stainless steel in a Cuban chain style. The listing says it layers with other Lola Ade anklets and names two matching pieces, the Cuban Chain Necklace and the Cuban Chain Bracelet. Size is given only as adjustable up to approximately 10 inches. There are no metals, lengths or finishes to pick between, so the decision comes down to the price, the material and that one size range.

Options and pricing

Nothing is configurable on this page: the single variant costs $46.99 and there are no menus for metal, length or finish. The materials line reads thick 18K gold layered over stainless steel, and the size line says adjustable up to approximately 10 inches. No minimum length is given, and the page does not explain how the adjustment works. Neither the chain width nor the weight is stated.

How it compares

The listing says this anklet matches two other pieces in the same Cuban chain, the Cuban Chain Necklace and the Cuban Chain Bracelet. The Cuban Chain Bracelet is $42.99 against $46.99 here, and the Rope Chain Bracelet is $44.99. No second anklet is listed, so there is no other anklet price to set beside this one.

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

  • A single fixed price of $46.99 and no option menus to work through
  • The material line is specific: thick 18K gold layered over stainless steel
  • The listing gives a top size: adjustable up to approximately 10 inches
  • The listing names a matching necklace and bracelet, so the same chain can be worn as a set of three

Worth noting

  • The listing states no minimum length, only an upper limit of approximately 10 inches
  • No chain width, weight or clasp type is listed, so the look and heft cannot be judged from the page
  • The gold layer is called thick but its thickness is not measured
  • Everything is fixed: there is no choice of length, metal or finish

Questions before you buy

What is the Cuban Chain Anklet made of?

Thick 18K gold layered over stainless steel, according to the listing. The gold layer's thickness, the chain width and the weight are not stated.

What size does it cover?

The size line says adjustable up to approximately 10 inches, and the variants show one option at $46.99. No lower limit and no clasp type are given.

Which other Lola Ade pieces does it go with?

The listing says it matches the Cuban Chain Necklace and the Cuban Chain Bracelet and layers well with other Lola Ade anklets. The listing text gives no price or size for those pieces.

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 until a demi-fine piece is mailed?

The Shipping & Returns page says Demi-Fine Collection orders usually go out by USPS First Class within 5 to 7 business days of purchase, excluding holidays; processing for some pieces takes longer and is noted on the product page or the announcement bar. Orders over $100 ship free.

Independent

What we couldn’t verify

  • The stainless steel comes with a skin-comfort claim in the listing, which we could not check.
  • No chain width, weight, minimum length or clasp type is given, and the gold layer's thickness is described only as thick.
  • 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.
