Lola Ade Flora CZ Cluster Studs in 18K Gold Vermeil Review

A floral cluster of marquise and round-cut cubic zirconia is the whole design of the Flora Studs, which the listing describes as dainty studs handcrafted in 925 sterling silver with an 18K gold vermeil finish. They cost $68 in a single variant. The store calls them non-tarnish and lightweight and says they can be worn alone or layered with huggies and hoops, but the page gives no diameter for the studs, no stone count and no weight.

Options and pricing

One variant is listed at $68, so there is no size, metal or stone to choose. The listing names the metal as 925 sterling silver with an 18K gold vermeil finish and the stones as marquise and round-cut cubic zirconia grouped in a floral cluster. It gives no diameter for the studs, no stone size and no stone count, and it gives no weight even though it calls the studs lightweight.

How it compares

The Colette Bow Studs are the only other pair of studs among the siblings, at $82 against $68 here. Two hoops from the same store cost less: the Eterna Hoops are $55.99 and the Triple Row Beaded Hoops are $54.99. The Yika Hoops, also $55.99, list approximately 58mm, while Flora gives no size.

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.
