Our verdict
A textured gold vermeil earring with faux pearls for someone who wants a hammered finish at $44.99 and accepts one approximate size and no weight. It is a poorer fit for anyone who wants real pearls, a stated pearl size or count, or a choice of sizes. The main caveat is the thin specification: the metal is named, but the page leaves out the vermeil thickness, the post details and the weight.
- Best for
- A buyer who wants a hammered, matte polished gold vermeil earring with faux pearls at a single price.
- Skip if
- You want real pearls, a stated pearl size or a choice of sizes.
Why 3.3/5: Nothing on the page earns extra credit; held back by almost no specifications on the page, a short product page and the store's no-returns, no-refunds policy (a damaged or defective item gets an exchange or repair).
A hammered texture and a matte polished setting are what the listing leads with on the Gold Hammered Pearl Earrings, which it says are adorned with faux pearls. The metal is given as 18K gold vermeil over sterling silver, the size as approximately 2 3/8", and the price as $44.99 in a single variant. Plastic earring backs are included. The listing calls the look artisanal but gives no pearl size, pearl count or weight.
Options and pricing
The listing shows one variant at $44.99, so there is no metal, size or pearl choice. The metal is 18K gold vermeil over sterling silver, the texture is hammered, the setting is matte polished and the pearls are faux. The only measurement is approximately 2 3/8", and the listing does not say whether that is the full length of the earring or the width of the setting. It gives no post length, vermeil thickness or weight.
How it compares
Among Lola Ade's other earrings, the Clear Heart Earrings cost the same $44.99, the Firecracker Earrings are $34.99 in zinc alloy and rhinestone at approximately 1 and 5/8", and the Yika Hoops are $55.99 at approximately 58mm. This pair's listing names a vermeil finish over sterling silver, while the Firecracker spec names zinc alloy and rhinestone.
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 metal is named: 18K gold vermeil over sterling silver
- The listing calls the pearls faux, so there is no doubt about the stones
- A size is given: approximately 2 3/8"
- Texture and finish are described: hammered, with a matte polished setting
Worth noting
- The size is one approximate figure, and the listing does not say which dimension it measures
- No pearl size, pearl count or weight is given
- No thickness is given for the vermeil layer
- Only one finish and one size are on offer; the page has no variants to pick from
Questions before you buy

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.

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.
