Lola Ade Herringbone Chain, 18K Gold Filled Review

Sold in two lengths, the Herringbone Chain is an 18K Gold Filled chain with a lobster clasp and a listed 4mm. The 16-inch version costs $84.99 and the 18-inch version $89.99, which is why the headline price reads From $84.99. The store describes it as a chain to wear alone daily or layered with other necklaces. Almost nothing else is specified, and one of the two variants showed as out of stock when the page was read.

Options and pricing

Length is the only option and it sets the price: 16 inches is $84.99 and 18 inches is $89.99, giving two variants. The listing repeats that the chain is available in 16 and 18 inches, and it adds the 4mm figure and the lobster clasp. No metal, color or finish choice is offered. One of the two variants was out of stock when the page was read, and the data does not say which.

How it compares

The E-Clips Necklace is $74.99 as a single variant, in thick layered 18K gold and adjustable up to 18", against $84.99 and $89.99 here. The 14K Box Chain Necklace offers the same two lengths, 16" and 18", but starts at $375, and the TribeStix Beaded Bar Necklaces cost $104.99 with a 17" chain and a 2" extension.

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.
