Our verdict

A low-priced pair of 14k gold filled initial earrings for a buyer who wants one letter on both ears, a post back and a $49.99 price. Look elsewhere if you want stones, a stated weight, a different letter on each ear or fuller product details. The main caveat is how little the page says: the 5.6mm size has no label, no care or finish information is given, and one of the 26 initials showed as out of stock when read.

Best for
Someone who wants a pair of 14k gold filled initial earrings with a post back at $49.99.
Skip if
You want stones, a stated weight or two different letters in one pair.

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).

One price, $49.99, covers every letter of these Initial Earrings, a pair in 14k gold filled with a post back. The listing says each pair carries the same initial on both earrings and gives a size of approximately 5.6mm. It is a short page that names no stone, weight or finish, and one of the 26 variants showed as out of stock when it was read, so the letter you want is worth confirming before you order.

Options and pricing

The one option is the initial, A to Z, in 26 values, and every variant costs $49.99. Each order is a pair with the same initial on both earrings, and the listing mentions no way to mix two letters. The size is given as approximately 5.6mm, without saying whether that is height or width. One of the 26 variants showed as out of stock when the page was read, and the page does not say which letter.

How it compares

The initial necklaces cost much more than this $49.99 pair: the Solid White Gold Initial Necklace and the Solid Yellow Gold Initial Necklace both start at $495 on 16", 18" or 20" chains, and the Diamond Single Initial Necklace starts at $925. Their names say solid gold, while this listing says 14k gold filled and sells a pair.

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

  • One price, $49.99, applies to every initial from A to Z
  • Sold as a pair, with the same initial on both earrings
  • The material is named as 14k gold filled and the backing as a post back
  • A size figure is given: approximately 5.6mm

Worth noting

  • The listing is short and names no stone, weight, finish or care details
  • The 5.6mm size is not labelled as height or width
  • One of the 26 initials showed as out of stock when read, and the page does not say which
  • Both earrings carry the same letter; the listing shows no way to mix two initials

Questions before you buy

What are the Initial Earrings made of?

The listing calls them 14k gold filled initial earrings with a post back. It names no stone, gives no weight and adds no finish or care details.

Can each earring have a different letter?

The listing says they are sold as a pair of the same initial. The only option is the initial itself, A to Z, so the page shows no way to mix two letters.

What do they cost and are all letters available?

Every initial is $49.99. One of the 26 variants showed as out of stock when the page was read, and the page does not say which letter.

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 listing gives no weight, stone details, finish or care notes, and the 5.6mm figure has no label for height or width.
  • The listing pitches the earrings as a way to add personality and as a gift; that is a marketing statement and could not be checked.
  • 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.
